lyrics

Lyrics:

We need a critical mass, if we’re going to address
The trouble on our streets, cos they’re in a bloody mess
Too many cars, no space for the rest
For the people and the planet then the bicycle is best

On Our Streets
They’re Our Streets
On Our Streets
They’re Our Streets

Little kids on the road, gotta fight for their life
Cos the 4x4’s give them such fright
They’re going to fast and they’re way too big
But we’re gonna fight back, cos we gotta have the right

On Our Streets
They’re Our Streets
On Our Streets
They’re Our Streets

Look at Amsterdam like a mini-paradise
With the streets so quiet and the air so nice
They had to take to the street, with their bikes and their feet
Cos you can’t change a thing sitting in your car seat

Two wheels good, four wheel bad
Keeping our balance in a world gone mad
For the health of your body and the health of the world
Join us on your bike and we’ll tell them all

They’re Our Streets
They’re Our Streets
They’re Our Streets
They’re Our Streets

Obesity Crisis - Bikes are the answer
Climate Crisis - Bikes are the answer
Noise pollution - Bikes are the answer
Safer streets - Bikes are the answer
Air pollution - Bikes are the answer
Mental health - Bikes are the answer
More prosperity - Bikes are the answer
Local economy - Bikes are the answers
