There’s blood on the street, and its been here before
City in the throws of a heatwave as tempers reach an all time high.
Streets pounded, words spoken, fires stoked
water cannon, plastic bullets, breeze blocks in mid air
there’s blood on the street, and its been here before
the match is lit and somethings gonna burn
tensions rising, flags flying, the bonfires still lit
there’s blood on the street, and its been here before
fuel for early morning radio call in shows,
flames that will burn in peoples hearts for months
sirens rage and warning bells ring in many minds
there’s blood on the street, and its been here before
images flooding TV screens, social networking going mad
wasn’t that the road Obama cavalcade hurtled down?
now its the mob rushing down it without the fanfare
not so much G8 but 1978
there’s blood on the street, and its been here before
there’s blood on the street, and its been here before
theres blood on the street how long until its here no more?
