Concrete and Steel

Verse 1

City grey in the morning rain

Factory whistle cuts the lane

Work boots stomping on broken stone

Nobody here walks alone

Chorus

We move to the beat of the street

Straight-backed on our own two feet

Black and white on the same line

Rude boy rhythm in our time

Verse 2

I sold my coat for a bass guitar

Paid the rent with a six string scar

Mum said son you're wasting years

I wore her worry like brass and tears

Chorus

We move to the beat of the street

Straight-backed on our own two feet

Black and white on the same line

Rude boy rhythm in our time

Bridge

Brick dust rising in the clubs

Everyone's sweating out their loves

Ska horn cutting through the smoke

One heartbeat and it's broke

Chorus

We move to the beat of the street

Straight-backed on our own two feet

Black and white on the same line

Rude boy rhythm in our time

Rude boy rhythm in our time

Rude boy rhythm in our time
