[G]
[D] Famine days drove us here, off the land they tried to [G]
clear.
Now they drive you from the cities to make [A] way for [D] all the yuppies.
They stood back and didn't act, those in power should have been [G] sacked.
Decimate the inner cities, move them [A]
out, bring [D] in the wealthy.
[Bm] Hey little baby I [A] wanna take you from here, [G] I wanna take you away from here.
[Bm] Hey little baby I [A] don't wanna see you on the [G] gear, it's so hard to find your way [Em] back.
[G] Hey little baby, every [A] parent's worst fear, [G] for the child [F#] to end up [Em] on smack.
[G] [D] There was pills, there was tabs, there was pain and needle [G] jobs.
And the ghosts of overdoses replaced the ghosts of [D] tuberculosis.
[D] There was dust and there was liquid you could buy for just a few [G]
quid.
And escape out of the jungle, to [A] return and [D] crawl and stumble.

[G]
[D] I walk along these streets, all the ghosts, they walk their [G] beats.
Up to flats and into stairwells, where they [A] lie in [D] heroin [Bm] hell.
[G] Little kids, they walk right through them, I just [A] hope they [D] don't become them.
