You know what is meant by Liverpool and Victims. That is the Always the Victims never your fault argument. They are doing a lot to convince me that that is true at the moment, but this argument was employed by some Mancs in the aftermath of Hillsborough."All" is the whole universe, if you want to dissect the words to that extent.
Have you actually considered the lyrics and what they mean?
"Victims of it all. Battered in the streets." I stopped singing it ages ago. The victims of it all, can easily be interpreted as being about Hillsboro. No city fan who sings it is thinking about that, they are just thinking about our rivalry with Liverpool but you should have some standards of behaviour, and self respect regardless of the behaviour of Liverpool fans and the one-eyed media angle
I think you're taking this "victims" reference way out of context. Cast your mind back to the aftermath of that CL final and they were whinging hysterically about all kinds of supposed injustices that occurred in and around that game.You know what is meant by Liverpool and Victims.

The media as usual got this all wrong. This song stems out of rivalry and in particular the bus attack which they almost totally ignored but that does not mean we can say and do what we want. As a fanbase we are better than that. We didn't after all respond in kind when Liverpool fans came to City. We should change the words or stop singing it. There's bits I love, such as Sterling did the Double, Scousers won F'all, but other bits I don't like.
It doesn't come close though to a 1,000 fans raining down bottles on our bus in a pre-planned organised and policed event.
The media, the Scouser police and the football authorities effectively laughed at the vile bus attack. Imagine what the response would have been if we had attacked their bus in this manner. Outrage in the media, convictions in the courts and heavy fines/stadium closures or been banned from the competition. Notwithstanding, the contemptible double standards and the deliberate conflation of this song with Hillsborough and Sean Cox if it is causing genuine upset to relatives, which of course is not the intent, then perhaps we should refrain from singing it.You know what is meant by Liverpool and Victims.

He even managed to get in on radio questioning why a team that had just won the league was even singing about Liverpool?
Shamelessly piggybacking on his brother's plight to score another partisan point.
What a shame he can't trade in his points for actual Premier League ones, eh?
Sean cox’s brother is now suggesting despite it not being about his brother, it reminds him of his brothers attack and he’s disgusted people would sing it.
Liverpool sing you’ll never walk alone every game, whilst it’s not about me, it takes me back to the time I had to walk home alone as a scared child, it’s disgusting people would continuously sing it.
Were you afraid of the dark though?Fcuk that, mate. I once walked through a storm and got piss-wet through.
Even though my head was held up high.
You bastard..that was clearly offensive and about ...er......something offensiveFcuk that, mate. I once walked through a storm and got piss-wet through.

Fuck sake marvI think that's stretching it, battered in the streets is glorifying violent behaviour, victims of it all. "All" is all.
I know city fans are just fed up to the back teeth of Liverpool and the media's love in with them. I know that when people sing it Hillsborough and Sean Cox is not in their minds at all. It's just anti-Liverpool and stems from seasons rivalry and their own behaviour over time, but nevertheless if you ask me what I think of the meaning of the lyrics, I don't like them, and I am disappointed that you seek to justify them.
We should keep the essence of the song, and change a few words. I hate the reporting of this as much any City fan but we should still behave respectfully and properly.
