Drank in a pub on a Saturday night
Me and the boys were feeling alright
As we walked the streets feeling lots of pride
Proud with our roots and our way of life

Then stood some geezers try to steal the night
Stare at us try to pick a fight
Me and the boys were waiting for the start
As we prepared for an aggro, oh, what a night

That's the story of how our life goes
We had been treated like a bunch of stuck up fools
Scorned by many, understood by few
There's not much things left for us to do

Don't wanna got back to dark days of mine
Where I've gone too far I could have killed someone
But I don't wanna sit down behaving like a cunt
While watching my mates doing the best they can

In the streets of uptown
Streets of uptown
It's our ups and ours down
And it goes around and around

In the streets of uptown
Streets of uptown
It's our laugh and our tears
And it will last for years

That's the story of how our life goes
We had been treated like a bunch of stuck up fools
Scorned by many, understood by few
There's not much things left for us to do

Don't wanna got back to dark days of mine
Where I've gone too far I could have killed someone
But I don't wanna sit down behaving like a cunt
While watching my mates doing the best they can

In the streets of uptown
Streets of uptown
It's our ups and ours down
And it goes around and around

In the streets of uptown
Streets of uptown
It's our laugh and our tears
And it will last for years
