Oi! Oi! Oi! Oi!

When trying to stay alive in

Philadelphia
nobody's satisfied, nobody'll help ya
We're brushed aside like the factories

We're falling to bits, it's a mystery

Unemployed fight for a place in

the gutter
as a drunken rapist kills another
Mafia bombs and limosine wars

want to make their dealer's profits soar

How long can they keep us in a

cage
immigrants are destroying this place
The money stays in suburbia

and the poor will steal for another year

Militant mobs outgun the police

as the bodies pile up it's only routine
Liberals give criminals another chance
and question why the ghettos expand


Burned out, bombed out
neighborhoods

from their will never come an ounce of good
Junkies crawl to their next connection
but the streets survive all this corruption


Well trying to stay alive in
Philadelphia

nobody's satisfied, nobody'll help ya
We're brushed aside like the factories
We're falling to bits, its a mystery
