| This is the street where I’m living
|
| I feel there is something in the air
|
| A tension is getting steadily stronger
|
| My senses tell me 'better take care'
|
| This is the street where I’m living
|
| Where i was born and played as a child
|
| In this street no one ever bothered
|
| About skin coloured black or white
|
| You may pretend you haven’t seen
|
| You may pretend you haven’t heard
|
| But on the day they proudly fly their flag
|
| Ooh, you damn well know that people get hurt
|
| There is a voice from the shadow
|
| Safe from where it can not be seen
|
| It’s inflammatory words hit target
|
| Until division takes command of this street
|
| This is The Street Where I’m Living
|
| Where i was born and played as a child
|
| This is The Street Where I’m Living
|
| See now how dark clouds gather in the sky
|
| There’s a riot, I see fear on the faces
|
| While sirens scream and people run by
|
| The street where I’m living is on TV
|
| 'cause there’s a house on fire |
