Work-clothes off but you can’t shake out that stiffness
Zombie glue sniffers are looking pretty vicious
I don't mack the knife and I ain't texting for forgiveness
You got some worries ‘bout what the struggles for
Well it ain’t for drinking Coca-Cola or playing rock and roll
Cause the uptown crust spend their days poking holes
Out on the street the push and shove gets defeating
Cars lining up for a little petrol healing
You try to take what’s yours but you can’t cop no feeling
The rich are always taking from the poor
And the poor always borrow against their dreams
You can sail into that heart of darkness
Or follow where the bells of freedom ring
Just watch the kids they always get it right
What's more human than human beings?
Street manners
Just leave them in tatters
Politeness on a platter
All kindness with swagger
Show some street manners
