Stereotypes

media hypes

the victim Liverpool

They painted a picture

of a criminal culture

uncouth and very, very cruel

In vibrant times

poets created rhymes

and comedians carried the swing

There was Merseybeat

the vibe out on the street

Yeah! Everybody wanted to sing

‘You'll never walk alone

In my Liverpool home’

LFC wore the colours of success

They would beat teams up

while retaining the cup

teams who visited left distressed

Check out the TV soap

visit the Street of Hope

with two cathedrals shrouded in fame

Newspapers from the gutter

distorted the disaster

Liverpool was back in the frame

I know people love the accent

but then some pass judgement

that Scousers are always on the rob

There is a Scouser in town

so screw everything down

if you're a Scouser you can't get a job

Some visit the Albert Docks

close to the Liver Clocks

and sail the ferry across the Mersey

Check out the famous skyline

recognised every time

with an image that is Oh! So chirpy

Well she is known worldwide

this daughter of Merseyside

with a passion that burns like fire

So the reason I write

is to shed forth some light

and Liverpool you never fail to INSPIRE
