AVENUES AND ALLEYWAYS
Rancid


Oi! Oi! Oi!

I figured out the problem yeah the problem is you
You didn't see us coming now there's nothing you can do
Times are gonna change so change or step aside
It's our point of view that took you by surprise

The sun's comin up yeah the new dawn arrives
A generation standing stand with anger in their eyes
No love in the city cuz there's no connection
Stricken by disease a racial infection

I'm a battery ram coming through to you
In every alleyway on every avenue

Oi! Oi! Oi!

Actions could erase all the fear that we suffer
People segragated no one understands each other
He's a different color but we're the same kid
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 singing with the group
The inner cities burning yeah it's screaming black and blue
The power and the passion of a million youth

I'm a battery ram coming through to you
In every alleyway on every avenue

Oi! Oi! Oi!

I figured out the problem yeah the problem is you
You didn't see us coming now there's nothing you can do
He's a different color but we're the same kid
I'll treat him like my brother he'll treat me like his

Of all the blood that spills of all the guts that fly
The media paint a picture that stains all our eyes
Pits dogs against cats now who is responsible
The power in the issue the force is unstoppable

I'm a battery ram coming through to you
In every alleyway on every avenue

Oi! Oi! Oi!

I'm a battery ram coming through to you
In every alleyway on every avenue

Oi! Oi! Oi!
