about

This was originally written for our last project. At the time it was half the speed and didn't fit in after "Another Soldier" and was thus rejected. Much later we re-recorded this version, and I'm glad we did. Great lyrics that I'm very proud of!

lyrics

A man lives on the corner, he’s of ethnic origin,
they say he was a gurkha ‘til a bullet done him in,
he struggles on a pension, there’s graffiti on his wall,
honoured by this nation but forgotten by us all.

In-equality Street, In-equality Street,
where the children are afraid to speak,
In-equality Street.

Imagine being 17, expecting once again,
claiming social benefits, abused by older men,
she’s learned to milk the system that she once thought so unfair,
a child born to poverty and taken into care.

In-equality Street, In-equality Street,
We only wants to make ends meet,
In-equality Street.

I was born with nothing and I’ll die with not much more,
In-equality street, We'll be forever poor.

Dan was doing very well importing foreign goods,
his credit rating excellent, the Chinese understood,
but Sterling took a tumble so he had to take a loan,
bankrupt by the taxman who re-possessed his home.

In-equality Street, In-equality Street,
branded as a benefit cheat,
In-equality Street.

In-equality Street, In-equality Street,
My hands are tied and so are my feet,
In-equality Street.
