Stainbeck Road I Lyrics

NARRATOR:
So the land did acquiesce to man, his vast stupidity
The great "I AM".

MAN:
This is mine, it's not theirs, it's not yours either
Get that in your head.

STREET:
Counsil legislation. Hedge specification.
New planning permission. Suburban segregation.

MAN:
This is my stand, it's my fence
Mental health is measured in land in private hands.

STREET:
Neighbourly aggression. Familial suspicion.
Communal fragmentation. A battle of attrition.

MAN:
"I" am a noun
Like a pack of dogs I will take you down if you even look at me.

NARRATOR:
The word of God, the word of Man
He does it 'cause he can can can
Above all else we must concede
There's no such thing as society.
