Hear that cry throughout the streets, we know just what it means

And even to the ignorant, it 'aignt what it seems

Through every city backstreets, the kids from all around

They all come to join the fun, cause they know the sound

They all try to ignore us, but we wont let 'em win

The wankers try to put us down, but we will smash them in

Cause we all say, that they're full of shit



And we're running down the backstreets

Oi! Oi! Oi!

And we're running unafraid

Oi! Oi! Oi!

Cause we all know that's the sound of the streets



And we're running down the backstreets

Oi! Oi! Oi!

Got our martins on our feet

Oi! Oi! Oi!

And you're all running down the backstreets with me



The kids they come from everywhere, the east end's all around

Cause they all know what it means, when they hear the sound

You know what to do, when you hear the call

Put on your boots and Harrington, and kick down that fucking wall

You can listen to politicians, they'll lead you astray

You're gonna see the light and your gonna see the way

And we all know that there's nothing like us



And we're running down the backstreets

Oi! Oi! Oi!

And we're never giving in

Oi! Oi! Oi!

Cause we all know that we're gonna fucking win



And we're running down the backstreets

Oi! Oi! Oi!

And we're here to stay

Oi! Oi! Oi!

And we all know that the firm are on they're way



They all try to ignore us, but we wont let 'em win

The wankers try to put us down, but we will smash them in

Cause we all say, that they're full of shit



And we're running down the backstreets

Oi! Oi! Oi!

And we're running unafraid

Oi! Oi! Oi!

Cause we all know that that's the sound of the streets



And we're running down the backstreets

Oi! Oi! Oi!

Got our martins on our feet

Oi! Oi! Oi!

And you're all running down the backstreet with me,

With me.
