Avenues and Alleyways
It's been stuck in my head for days, and it's a great song. So I'm posting it.
Rancid- Avenues and Alleyways
Oi Oi Oi!
I figured out the problem and the problem is you,
You didn't see us comin' now there's nothing you can do,
Times are gonna change, change or step aside,
It's our point of view that took you by surprise,
The sun's coming up yeah a new dawn arrives,
A generation standing, stand with anger in their eyes,
No love in the city cause there's no connection,
Stricken by disease, a racial infection.
I’m a battering ram coming through to you,
In every alleyway and every avenue Oi Oi Oi!
If actions could erase all the fear that we suffer,
People segregated no one understands each other,
He's a different colour but we're the same kid,
I treat him like my brother he'll treat me like his,
Well an eye for an eye yeah a tooth for a tooth,
Brother against brother should be singing with the group,
The inner cities burning yea it’s screaming black & blue,
The power and the passion of a million youth.
I’m a battering ram coming through to you,
In every alleyway and every avenue, Oi Oi Oi!
Oi Oi Oi!
I figured out the problem the problem is you,
You didn't see us comin' now there's nothing you can do,
He's a different colour but we're the same kid,
I treat him like my brother he'll treat me like his,
Of all the blood that spills of all the guts that fly,
The media paints a picture that stains (all arise)
Pits the dogs against the cats now who is responsible,
The power and the issue the force is unstoppable.
I’m a battering ram coming through to you,
In every alleyway and every avenue Oi Oi Oi!
Oi Oi Oi!
I’m a battering ram coming through to you,
In every alleyway and every avenue Oi Oi Oi!
I’m a battering ram coming through to you,
In every alleyway and every avenue Oi Oi Oi!
So yeah. In other news I finished my story which took me FOREVER. Hours every day since Christmas, and the final product was 30, that's right 30 pages, 10 font, single spaced. Together with my original story (this was a prequel), it is 44 pages long.
Special thanks to my editers:
Ben
Lynzi
and special thanks to Evan for helping me get through part 11 at 2 oclock in the morning
I feel accomplished for once.
