Mothercare Riots

from Tomorrow's World by The Slack 5

lyrics

What are they gonna show
Hurting people they don't know
Smashing windows, taking stuff
Don't the taxpayers give 'em enough?

The thing I'm finding quite surprising
They have no reason for their own uprising
No reason for the uprising

And I wonder to myself
What's the world come to,
When the kids burn down our streets
When I was 9 or 10
Playing hide and seek
Or cricket in the street
I really don't remember
Burning people
While they sleep
I've got a wallet full of bricks
Don't earn it
Go and take it from the weak

Gang kids don't seem to know
They're stopping people giving them a go
Threatening people, acting tough
Don't they value their lives enough?

The thing I'm finding quite surprising
They have no reason for their own uprising
No reason for the uprising

And I wonder to myself
What's the world come to,
When the kids burn down our streets
When I was 9 or 10
Playing hide and seek
Or cricket in the street
I really don't remember
Burning people
While they sleep
I've got a wallet full of bricks
Don't earn it
Go and take it from the weak
