He's an outlaw

On a dead end street

Has no choice no road to follow

Between the devil and the deep blue sea

Today's like tomorrow



Oh he's building up inside

Danger in the air

One fatal shot in the street fight



[Chorus]

Raise your flag

Show your colour

All you've got is yourself

Don't turn your back

On your brother

Put your trust in nobody else



Under surveillance

Put in the frame

Doing time in a crossbar hotel

Took his freedom

Took his name

Took his ambitions away



No one could hold him down

He couldn't take it any longer

Raised in a criminal play-ground



[Chorus]



Walking the street as soldier

Day in day out

No one to lend a shoulder

Inside outside all the same



[Chorus]
