Lyrics

People come, gather round, there's a tale must be told As the bedlam of Brixton resounds through the cold A young lad named Jack, only 18 years old Is on the back of a ped with his friends And the gan on Gileras tooled up to the teeth The engines all blare as they tear through the streets Like a murder of crows, they flock to the feast As dark as the tide of the Thames And Jack hears the voice of his mum in his head Screaming "Gеt out while you can, son. You're bettеr off dead." But too much has ben done, the shop's up ahead He wants to run, but it's too late So it's "Go! Go! Go!" Jack jumps to his feet As the gang bring the peds to a halt with a screech Machetes are raised as they scream through the street "Get the fuck out the way! Get the fuck out the way!" [Chrous] And oh dear, Jack - what have you done, my son? A smash and grab, your life had just begun You're still so young, and now they'll take you down Run, Jack, run [instrumental] So Jack's in a state, it's all happening too fast That the swing of a sledgehammer shattering glass The alarms start to ring and the panicking starts As outside a crowd gathers round As the guard of the store gets a cosh to the face He's thrown to the floor as they smash the displays Throwing the Roleys and Tags into bags at the pace Of his heart that has started to pound Then it's "Run! Run! Run! Misson Complete" Half a mils worth of a gear, now it's time to retreay But the people outside are still blocking the street And they try tackle Jack to the ground So then one of the gang points a gun at the heads Of the have-a-go heroes rushing the peds But the lads are surrounded, Jack screams "It's the feds" As the sirens are starting to sound [Chrous x 2] And oh dear, Jack - what have you done, my son? A smash and grab, your life had just begun You're still so young, and now they'll take you down Run, Jack, run
