Rancid - Avenues & Alleyways lyrics

Oi! Oi! Oi!

I figured out the problem, yeah
The problem is you you didn't see us comin'
Now there's nothin' you can do
Times are gonna change, change or step aside
It's a point of view that
Took you by surprise
The sun's comin' up, yeah
The new dawn arrives
New generation standing
Stand with anger in their eyes
No love in the city
'cause there's no connection
Been stricken by disease, a racial infection

I'm a batterin' ram comin' through at you
In every alleyway on every avenue
Oi! Oi! Oi!

Actions could erase all the
Fear that we suffer people segregated
No one understands each other
He's a different color
But we're the same kin
I'll 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 singin' with the group
The inner cities burnin', yeah
It's screamin' black and blue
The power and the passion of a million youth

I'm a batterin' ram comin' through at you
In every alleyway on every avenue
Oi! Oi! Oi!

Oi! Oi! Oi!

I figured out the problem, yeah
The problem is you you didn't see us comin'
Now there's nothin' you can do
He's a different color
But we're the same kin
I'll treat him like my brother
He'll treat me like his
All the blood that spills of
All the guts that fly
The media paints a picture that
Stings all our eyes
Pit's the dogs against the cats
Now who is responsible?
The power in the issue
The force is unstoppable

I'm a batterin' ram comin' through at you
In every alleyway on every avenue
Oi! Oi! Oi! yeah

Oi! Oi! Oi!
I'm a batterin' ram comin' through at you
In every alleyway on every avenue
Oi! Oi! Oi!
I'm a batterin' ram comin' through at you
In every alleyway on every avenue
Oi! Oi! Oi!
