Skrewdriver - On the Streets lyrics

After a good night on the town

There's gangs over here, gangs over there, there's gangs everywhere

You'd better watch out if your on your own

It's the day of the boys dressed in blue

You'd better watch out if one of them looks at you

Chorus:

On the streets, of our towns

On the streets, all around

On the streets, everywhere

On the streets, makes you scared

Standing in a concert, having a good time

Paid your money out to see the show

In come the cops, looking for trouble because your white men

Would you believe that this was Britain '84

It's the day of the boys dressed in blue

You'd better watch out if one of them looks at you

(Chorus)

You never see politicians out there, standing on the streets

They don't care if your kids are fed, or got shoes upon their feet

They don't know what's happening, they don't see what's going on

If they did, they'd all be screaming, what the hell is going on

(Chorus)

People seem to think, if it's in the Sun, they've got to believe it

Try to tar everybody with the same brush

Remember, birds of a feather, don't always flock together these days

So don't get carried away by the sight of us

(Chorus 2x
