You feel the damp in the evening air  You see them standing you feel them stare  You hear their insults you can hear them shout  You try to answer but no words come out  Your face gets hotter as the anger rise  You can see excitement in their eyes  As they free their aggression in the usual way  It's easier to fight  Harder just to walk away    The streets are empty as you're going home  You got your collar turned up against the cold  You're tired and hungry and and you're fit to drop  The rain is pouring won't it ever stop  You hear the voice from the alleyway  Saying: "Come here boy don' I know your name?"  And there's no use in running so you've gotta stay  It's easier to fight  Harder just to walk away    [Chorus:]  Walk away  Walk away  Walk away  It's easier to fight than walk away    The corner boys on the march again  Got a size 10 boot where they keep their brain  Drinking cheap wine acting hard and loud  You cross the road get lost in the crowd  You feel your heartbeat as the taunts ring out  No comprehension what it's all about  The don't need reason for this anyway  Easier just to fight  Harder to walk away    So you stand and lash out  Though you know that it's wrong  And it's hard to believe  That's how we get along  Here in every city  Happens every day  Easier just to fight  Easier just to fight  Easier just to fight  Easier just to fight  Then walk away    No sense of logic in a flying fist  No point in calculating what they've missed  That's what we made them it's not their fault  We just ignored them when they needed taught  You hear a voice from inside your head  Saying: "With that life you'd be better off dead"  You know that they got no hope from day to day  But it's hard to try to help  Much easier to walk away
