Avenues and alleyways Song Lyrics
Avenues and alleyways by Rancid I figured out the problem, yea, 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 my point of view that took you by surprise
The sun's comin up, yea, the new dawn arrives
A generation standing stand with anger in their eyes
No love in the city because there's no connection
Been stricken by disease, a racial infection
I'm a battering, ram comin' through to you
In every alleyway on every avenue
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 kid
I will treat him like my brother, he will treat me like his
Well an eye for an eye, yea, a tooth for a tooth
Brother against brother should be singin' with the group
The inner cities burnin', yea, it's screamin' black and blue
The power and the passion of a million youth
I'm a battering, ram comin' through to you
In every alleyway on every avenue
Figured out the problem, yea, 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 kid
I treat him like my brother, he will treat me like his
All the blood that spills of all the guts that fly
The media paints a picture that stains
Pits dogs against cats now who is responsible
The power in the issue, the force is unstoppable
I'm a battering, ram comin' through to you
In every alleyway on every avenue
I'm a battering, ram comin' through to you
In every alleyway on every avenue
