Lyrics:
Well its kicking off down on Mare Street,
A mile down the road.
Tonight the rule of law around these parts disowned.
Unsure my feelings, but clear of the street- its a long way down for me.
See shutters dropping as the high street vacates.
Look from the window or mob up and wait?
With power ebbing, amidst glass and concrete,
Its a rough night to walk out on the beat.
Red tops dissecting, youth offending,
A police killing saw Tottenham burn.
Theres expectation on the corner and blood on the streets.
A nation watches on in pure disbelief.
Calls for the army, live bullets and more,
For a "rabid," "feckless," "feral" urban poor.
Trainers or consoles, they're having a ball.
If thats the prize then it reflects on us all.
Mugging off each other for whats in the shops,
By example from cold hearted bastards on top.
