A switchblade flashes on a Coventry night A kid lies there, he didn't wanna fight "I didn't do it" as he throws up his hands But everyone knows where the blame is to land We're always on the wrong side of whatever side there was We're always on the wrong side of whatever side there was The lights go down in Coventry Meanwhile on the east side of town We didn't know what was going down The cops pulled us to the side of the road You're in a band that's the way it goes
