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
