Famine days, drove us here, off the land,
  
They tried to clear, Now they drive you
  ((II) (II) First Time)
From The cities, to make way for all the yuppies

They stood back, and didn't act,

Those in power, should have been sacked,
   
Decimate the inner cities, move them out, bring in the wealthy.

Hey little baby, I wanna take you from here
   
I wanna take you away from here
 
Hey little baby, dont wanna see you on the gear
   
Cos it's so hard to find your find your back
 
Hey little baby, it's every parents worst fear,
   
For their child to end up on smack.

You lie, I cry, Please don't go
   
   
(4:02)

Now I walk, along these streets,

All the ghosts, they walk their beats
 
Up to flats and into stairwells,
  
Where they lie, in heroin hell
 
Little kids, they walk right through them,
 
I just hope they don't become them.
