Youths Go On the Rampage!
Trouble on our city streets
as youths go berserk
is it about unemployment
because there's no work?
No, it's nothing to do with that
they just like to cause fear
and to rob some new trainers
because Nike's are far too dear.
There tough in their gangs
as they smash and loot
because they know the police
won't dare attack or shoot.
Bring back national service
the older generation all shout
because when they were that age
the coppers could give you a clout.
So the shopkeepers are nervous
waiting for the next hoodie attack
because they've heard on the radio
the hoodlums will definetly be back.
When will it come to an end?
is it a new English civil war?
I'm just glad I'm at the age
where I'm used to being poor!
