Hear that cry throughout the streets, you know just what it means
But even to the ignorant it ain't what it seems
From every ****ty backstreet, the kids from all around
They all come an' join the firm because they know that sound

But they all try to ignore us
But we won't let 'em win
The wankers try to put us down
But we will smash them in

'Cause we all say that they are full of ****
And we're running down the backstreet oi, oi, oi
And we're running and we're free oi, oi, oi

'Cause we all know that that's the sound of the streets
And we're running down the backstreet oi, oi, oi
With Dr. Martins on our feet oi, oi, oi
And you're all running down the back streets with me

The kids they come from everywhere, the east ends all around
'Cause they all know what
Just what it means when they hear that sound
So you know what to do, do, when you hear the call

Put your boots and Harries on and kick down that ***king wall
You can listen to the politicians, they'll lead you astray
But you're gonna see light an' you're gonna see the way

'Cause we all know that there's nothing like us
And we're running down the backstreet oi, oi, oi
And we're never giving in oi, oi, oi

'Cause we all know that we're gonna ***king win
And we're running down the backstreet oi, oi, oi
And we're to stay oi, oi, oi
And we all know that the firm are on their way

But they all try to ignore us
But we won't let 'em win
The wankers try to put us down
But we will smash them in

'Cause we all say that they are full of ****
And we're running down the backstreet oi, oi, oi
And we're running and we're free oi, oi, oi
'Cause we all know that that's the sound of the streets

And we're running down the backstreet oi, oi, oi
With Dr. Martins on our feet oi, oi, oi
And you're all running down the back streets with me
