When you are used to living on the streets
Fighting and struggling, to cater for your needs
It ain't no fiction, it ain't no fantasy
This is the real world, ugly faced reality

Chorus (2x):
Eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth
Never had nothing, you've got nothing to lose

You're a little older and you have got a job
Guvner starts to push you, will it never ever stop
One day will come to set the record straight
You'll be waiting down the factory gate

Chorus (2x)

When you are used to living on the streets
Fighting and struggling, to cater for your needs
It ain't no fiction, it ain't no fantasy
This is the real world, ugly faced reality

Chorus (repeat)

... Eye for an eye
