Streets of Oldham

Did you see the old man
 got battered on the streets of Oldham.
 His medals faded
 and his eyes no longer shine.
 Fought for his country
 for freedom and a new tomorrow
 But nobody told him
 that the freedom was all lies.

 (Chorus)
 Now how can you tell me
 we're only
 after trouble all the time.
 Let me take you on a journey
 through the flame filled streets of Oldham
 And I'll show you something that will make you
 change your mind

 Did you see the white lad
 who got battered on the streets of Bradford.
 See him get surrounded,
 see him have to stand and fight.
 And did you see the white lad
 who got stabbed up on the streets of Bradford.
 All the papers said
 he was stabbed for being white.

 (Chorus)
 Now how can you tell me
 we're only
 after trouble all the time.
 Let me take you on a journey
 through the flame filled streets of Bradford
 and I'll show you something that will make you
 change your mind

 (Chorus)
 Now how can you tell me
 we're only
 after trouble all the time.
 Let me take you on a journey
 through the flame filled streets of Burnley
 and I'll show you something that will make you
 change your mind

 (Chorus)
 Now how can you tell me
 we're only
 after trouble all the time.
 Let me take you on a journey
 through the flame filled streets of Elfrey
 and I'll show you something that will make you
 change your mind
