Walking down the subway, at the weekend After a good night out on the town There's gangs over here, gangs over there, well there's gangs everywhere You'd better watch out now, 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, it 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 'cos 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 (Repeat 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?!" (Repeat 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 (Repeat Chorus)
