Avenues & Alleyways

Lyrics

[Intro] Oi! Oi! Oi! [Verse 1: Tim Armstrong & Lars Frederiksen] I figured out the problem, yeah, 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 a point of view that took you by surprise The sun's comin' up, yeah, the new dawn arrives New generation standing, stand with anger in their eyes No love in the city 'cause there's no connection Been stricken by disease, a racial infection [Chorus] I'm a batterin' ram comin' through at you In every alleyway on every avenue Oi! Oi! Oi! [Verse 2: Tim Armstrong & Lars Frederiksen] 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 kin I'll treat him like my brother, he'll treat me like his Well an eye for an eye, yeah, a tooth for a tooth Brother against brother, should be singin' with the group The inner cities burnin', yeah, it's screamin' black and blue The power and the passion of a million youth [Chorus] I'm a batterin' ram comin' through at you In every alleyway on every avenue Oi! Oi! Oi! [Interlude] Oi! Oi! Oi! [Verse 3: Tim Armstrong & Lars Frederiksen] I figured out the problem, yeah, 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 kin I'll treat him like my brother, he'll treat me like his All the blood that spills of all the guts that fly The media paints a picture that stings all our eyes Pits the dogs against the cats, now who is responsible? The power in the issue, the force is unstoppable [Chorus] I'm a batterin' ram comin' through at you In every alleyway on every avenue Oi! Oi! Oi! Yeah [Outro] Oi! Oi! Oi! I'm a batterin' ram comin' through at you In every alleyway on every avenue Oi! Oi! Oi! I'm a batterin' ram comin' through at you In every alleyway on every avenue Oi! Oi! Oi!
