Our Streets

My streets in flames again Fueled by the hype on the news at ten Now another bored kid he wants to join in Go and set alight to a wheelie bin, well I've had enough of these incidents But don't insult my intelligence Telling me the riot was a consequence of Criminality and insolence, no. Cause I've seen the inequality That you breed in this society Cut-backs that make the people bleed For your ideology of greed And you tell me that's the life they choose Well I say they've nothing left to lose Nothing left to lose. Now there's a riot going on in our streets And they're bleeding, bleeding And nothing in our leader's speech That I can believe in, believe in Now there's a riot going on in our streets And they're bleeding, bleeding And nothing in our leader's speech That I can believe in, believe in I hear them chatting on the radio Like parrots, regurgitate the same old News media bullshit but what do they know What it feels like to be living below The poverty line when every time you go Out into the street all around there's dough But money always moves in a one way flow From bottom to top, it makes you feel low oh Oh wah ah oh oh etc Sooner or later you're going to blow oh, wah ah etc Now there's a riot going on in our streets And they're bleeding, bleeding And nothing in our leader's speech That I can believe in, believe in When you gonna stop demonising the youth you failed Telling us morality must prevail Sticking every kid with a hoodie in jail with no bail For your fairy tale, when you Force feed them materialism without Giving them a hope of ever making a living And you wonder why they're finding other ways to get cash And why you're shop displays they get smashed And you tell me oh These single mums their sons they just don't know Right from wrong cos their dad was a no show That's why they're looting whiskey from a tesco But you don't know These words you write you must type on a stereo Two dimensional villain from a tv show
