streets 'til somebody kicks- off
'Cause no- one saw it coming
But they're rooting for a riot
their point with broken glass
It'll be impossible to ignore it
The blood was spilled in Tottenham
Then the snowball starts to roll
The kids are gonna take control
And if they want mobile phones
and a brand new pair of trainers
They don't care about law
They'll have anything they can get
Well everybody run and hide
Call them all poor and deprived
But if you watch them closely
From all the brick and rocks
they'll be damned if they didn't
Then it catches like a fire,
from Croydon to Liverpool
Oh and the next three nights of summertime
And if they want mobile phones
and a brand new pair of trainers
They don't care about law and order
They'll have anything they can get
Well everybody run and hide
Call them all poor and deprived
But if you listen them closely
They catch their faces, up on CCTV
Print them in the newspapers
An d pretty soon the country's
jails are full of little kids
Well they claim that this revolt
has got nothing to do with politics
Well all I know is since that pillock Camer
And if they want mobile phones
and a brand new pair of trainers
They're the future of England
They don't care about law and order
They'll have anything they can get
Well everybody run and hide
Call them all poor and deprived
But if you watch them closely
They're having the time of their lives
