"Die on The New Cross"
Came to town last week and the whole thing still seemed like a dream
But here in the city I've learned nothing is quite how it seems
The shopkeepers don't give a f**k about the reason that you're here
Rip you off with lowgrade stock
Your dream's a pound for the cashier
Young band's on stage but the bar is where the action's found
Who needs the hope of tomorrow when the old band's reformed and in town
When they finally take the stage they'll take you back to better times
An age that ended long ago
A nostalgia trip that's just a lie
There was a time when you had something to say
But you can't live in yesterday
'Cause the power is gone and the glory won't stay
You'll die on the new cross today
Just up the street is a town where the grief hasn't changed
But you sit on your asses and let society take the blame
Your hairstyle does the talking now, your creed's a jacket that you wear
Your fight turned to complacency
And now you're just a cross for us to bear
What was the point of you coming this far
If you can't finish what you start
What was the point if you trade your beliefs
For a world of self-deceit

How do you feel about the above Allegiance "Die on The New Cross" lyrics? It seems to be a song about a fallen english scene.
