Verse 1
The beat of the street, the cries of the meek
The call of the lost, an echo, a ghost
The buzz of our town is closing around
Losing ourselves in the gathering crowd_
Pre-Chorus
Meeting up on our street corner
Boxing club, beers and chasers
Moon-light music of the street
Fills our heads makes our hearts beat!
Chorus
The beat of the street. The beat of the street.
The beat of the street – oh Yeah!
The beat – of – the – street_
Verse 2
Killing all this time and losing our rhyme
Renegade miles on the track of our lives
Train clatters above beating up, no gloves
No quarter deserved, our labour of love_
Pre-Chorus
Meeting up on our street corner
Boxing club, beers and chasers
Moon-light music of the street
Fills our heads makes our hearts beat!
Chorus
The beat of the street. The beat of the street.
The beat of the street – oh Yeah!
The beat – of – the – street_
Verse 3
Taking all we need, giving pain our creed
Our currency fear, never shed a tear
For others’ sufferings makes us the street kings
Transfixing victims, corrupting weaklings_
Pre-Chorus
Meeting up on our street corner
Boxing club, beers and chasers
Moon-light music of the street
Fills our heads makes our hearts beat!
Chorus
The beat of the street. The beat of the street.
The beat of the street – oh Yeah!
The beat – of – the – street_
Verse 4
The town at our feet, our reign is complete
To touch no-one dares, any-thing on our square
Lest they end their days, lost in our dark maze
Paying their ways, as everyone pays_
Pre-Chorus
Meeting up on our street corner
Boxing club, beers and chasers
Moon-light music of the street
Fills our heads makes our hearts beat!
Chorus Repeated
The beat of the street. The beat of the street.
The beat of the street – oh Yeah!
The beat – of – the – street_
