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
