Got picked on when I was young
Cos I never really fitted in with anyone
Kids at school thought I was strange
Teachers thought I would change
To be like them, I said no way
Cos I won't let them take away
The music that comes from the street
I remember getting kicked out of school
Told the teachers skinheads rule
My mother she went mad
I was still her boy, her little lad
I sure had her fooled
Chorus
Always fighting, never hiding
We are the voice of the street
On the p*** on Saturday night, yeah
We are the voice of the street
Out of school, all grown up
Hanging round the corner at the shops
A real man, so I thought
I soon got put in my place
With a kick in the b**** and a punch in the face
From an older lad whose brother I fought
Now I understand the way it's got to be
Law of the jungle is the law of the streets
Some folk don't realise it's a tooth for a tooth
And an eye for an eye
Revenge is oh so sweet
First way went on my first tattoo
The money left I spent on booze
A loser in the making they were so mistaken
My parents cried their child had died
Became a man filled with pride
A hooligan in bovver boots
Not much has changed since then
I can remember when I told the teacher skinhead rules
That flame still burns in me
Runs through my veins like a disease
That could never be cured
Cos I never really fitted in with anyone
Kids at school thought I was strange
Teachers thought I would change
To be like them, I said no way
Cos I won't let them take away
The music that comes from the street
I remember getting kicked out of school
Told the teachers skinheads rule
My mother she went mad
I was still her boy, her little lad
I sure had her fooled
Chorus
Always fighting, never hiding
We are the voice of the street
On the p*** on Saturday night, yeah
We are the voice of the street
Out of school, all grown up
Hanging round the corner at the shops
A real man, so I thought
I soon got put in my place
With a kick in the b**** and a punch in the face
From an older lad whose brother I fought
Now I understand the way it's got to be
Law of the jungle is the law of the streets
Some folk don't realise it's a tooth for a tooth
And an eye for an eye
Revenge is oh so sweet
