Damp pavements, street lights
She was born to stand and fight
No favours nor charity
She was never part of a minority

Inner-city baby, brought up tough
Look around here now, it looks rough
Nerves of steel get her through her day
She must survive in this concrete maze

(chorus)
She's a warzone baby, brought up in a war
She's a warzone baby, she's got to know the score

It's night and on the corner the dealer stands
One more disease in a once-great land
She ignores him and passes by
Her ambition is not to die

Turns a corner and she's in gangland
It's all eyes, teeth, and white headbands
She keeps her distance 'cos she knows their game
Rapes their hobby but she ain't playing

(chorus)

middle eight:

Living in a warzone, living in a hell
I don't recall the exact day that our country's morals fell
Living in a warzone, where death stands by our beds
Did we ever vote for this?
They seem to want our nation dead dead dead

(chorus) x2
