All the streets are littered with filth and dirt
Catch the bubonic plague in Amsterdam
Wash and rub and scratch the putrid skin
Mental illness follows and settles in
All the pressure of the world at your feet
Scared of the street
Dark grinning figures planting havok through their seed
Scared off the streets
Public freedom monitored with arm and law
Panic strikes all over in people's minds
Meanwhile, banners and tear gas roam the streets
Thousands marching onwards from behind
Part of an economy where crime takes the lead
Scared of the street
Judged and shamed by this inbred human breed
Scared off the streets
