The Fractions - Streets of Ancoats Lyrics

Invalids and racists
Living with the refugees and convicts
History so deep but we forget
Or just don't care
Destroying our little culture

From being fenian martyrs
To this redevelopment
There's no fight left in us
Couldn't pay this rent
New housing versus humanity
This times been spent

Such a state
Easy to blame people without a choice
A bloody state
Misleading the people, a lack of a clear voice
It's another message
We were wasting time we can't get on
Just another lesson
Lack capacity for remorse

Take me away
Take us away from the things that we now
Never led astray
It all just proves your better than me

Raid the streets of Ancoats
Raid the streets of it
And you don't know
This is your future
