We had no chance Living in a terrible wasteland But we would take pity from no man Busy playing football with coke cans Cause in Teesside, by the seaside, it's alright All those leeches beneath us, drawn to the light Sitting pretty in your city, you can keep it, that's fine Cause in Teesside, down by the seaside, it's alright When did we get so divided? We can no longer deny it And they don't even try to hide it It makes me think they kind of like it Cause in Teesside, by the seaside, it's alright We're the have-nots, we don't have much, that's alright Sitting pretty in your city, you can keep it That's fine Cause in Teesside, down by the seaside, it's alright
