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
