From the recordings Release The Bow and Release The Bow
Lyrics
We were the kids on the inner city streets
The working men bringing home ends meet
Yeah, we were the girls in the bars
We were the boys in the cars
We worked the jobs in the local yards
Everything that we had was ours
Never tried to cheat our friends
It was all a laugh back then
Now when we were young and we were hanging around
Something that we could shout about
To everyone, who thought that we were wrong
We were the worn out kids with scabby knees
Brought themselves up and they believed
They could be anyone for free
We were the kids on the inner city streets
The working men bringing home ends meet
Yeah, we were the girls in the bars
We were the boys in the cars
We worked the jobs in the local yards
Everything that we had was ours
Never tried to cheat our friends
It was all a laugh back then
So by the light on the corner of the evening news
Cheap cigarettes and filthy booze
True romance of a struggling chance
And with nothing left in the world to lose
Everything in the world to prove
To everyone, who thought that we were wrong
We were the kids on the inner city streets
The working men bringing home ends meet
Yeah, we were the girls in the bars
We were the boys in the cars
We worked the jobs in the local yards
Everything that we had was ours
Never tried to cheat our friends
It was all a laugh back then
Now when we were young and we were hanging around
Something we could shout about
to everyone, who thought that we were wrong
