Lyrics

[Verse 1] Let's all go on an urban safari, we might see some illegal migrants Oi, look, there's a chav, that means council housed and violent He's got a hoodie on, give him a hug On second thoughts don't, you don't wanna get mugged Oh, shit, too late, that was kinda dumb Whose idea was that, stupid— He's got some front, ain't we all? Be the joker, play the fool What's politics, ain't it all Smoke and mirrors, April fools? All year 'round, all in all Just another brick in the wall Get away with murder in the schools Use four letter swear words 'cause we're cool We're all drinkers, drug takers Every single one of us burns the herb Keep on believin' what you read in the papers Council estate kids, scum of the earth Think you know how life on a council estate is From everything you've ever read about it or heard Well it's all true, so stay where you're safest There's no need to step foot out the 'burbs Truth is here, we're all disturbed We cheat and lie, it's so absurd Feed the fear, that's what we've learned Fuel the fire, let it burn [Chorus] "Oi," I said, "Oi" What you lookin' at, you little rich boy? We're poor 'round here, run home and lock your door Don't come 'round here no more, you could get robbed for Real, yeah, because my manors ill My manors ill For real, yeah, you know my manors ill My manors ill [Verse 2] You could get lost in this concrete jungle New builds keep springin' up outta nowhere Take the wrong turn down a one way junction Find yourself in the hood, nobody goes there We got an eco-friendly government They preserve our natural habitat Built an entire Olympic village Around where we live without pullin' down any flats Give us free money and we don't pay any tax NHS healthcare, yes, please, many thanks People get stabbed 'round here, there's many shanks Nice knowin' someone's got our backs when we get attacked Don't bloody give me that, I'll lose my temper Who closed down the community centre? I killed time there, used to be a member What will I do now until September? School's out, rules out, get your bloody tools out London's burnin', I predict a riot Fall in, fall out, who knows what it's all 'bout? What did that chief say? Something 'bout the kaisers? Kids on the street, no, they never miss a beat Never miss a cheap thrill when it comes their way Let's go lootin', no, not Luton The high street's closed, so cover your face And if we see any rich kids on the way, we'll make 'em wish they stayed inside There's a charge for congestion, everybody's gotta pay Do what Boris does, rob them blind [Chorus] "Oi," I said, "Oi" What you lookin' at, you little rich boy? We're poor 'round here, run home and lock your door Don't come 'round here no more, you could get robbed for Real, yeah, because my manors ill My manors ill For real, yeah, you know my manors ill My manors ill [Bridge] (Oi, oi, oi, oi) We've had it with you politicians (Oi, oi, oi, oi) You bloody rich kids never listen (Oi, oi, oi, oi) There's no such thing as broken Britain (Oi, oi, oi, oi) We're just bloody broke in Britain (Oi, oi, oi, oi) What needs fixing is the system (Oi, oi, oi, oi) Not shop windows down in Brixton (Oi, oi, oi, oi) Riots on the television (Oi, oi, oi, oi) You can't put us all in prison [Chorus] "Oi," I said, "Oi" What you lookin' at, you little rich boy? We're poor 'round here, run home and lock your door Don't come 'round here no more, you could get robbed for Real, yeah, because my manors ill My manors ill For real, yeah, you know my manors ill My manors ill
