VERSE 1:
- We gotta stack chips
- And that's the way it is yo
- Living in the city is turning Billy schizophrenic
- It's a blood-money epidemic
- Kids rock Akademiks
- But they're not academic
- Better stop for a second
- Take a look around you
- Demons surround you
- Evil is all powerful
- Love is up against the ropes
- It's God's downfall
- Lucifer reigns
- The future remains doubtful
- The gloves are off
- Bare knuckle for the last round
- Listen to the war drum
- Hear how my heart sound
- My fists pound the asphalt
- As the living dead inhale the crack smoke
- Squeeze blood out a stone just to make cash flow
- Streets retarded
- The daily news is too much for the weak hearted
- Deeply depressed, artistic arsonist
- Sparkin spliffs
- Addicts jack the pharmacist's
- The devil lives in the Houses of Parliament
- Devil worship and rebel disarmament
- Is the main agenda for the parliamentary member
- Send in the Toxic Avenger!
- Mutant anti-hero
- Stack De Niro
- Move with a band of bandoleros at sub-zero temperature
- New clothes for the Emperoror
- Watch how you walk
- These kids'll put an end to ya
- The cross-country adventurer
- Ventin' the pent up aggression
- When I enter the session
- Adolescents hold weapons
- And shut down your pantomime
- Draw heat
- 9 milli degrees Fahrenheit
- England!
- And there'll be toil for the royal blood
- Spillin on the soil
- Where they're drillin for the oil
- Got us killin for the buck
- But we don't give a fuck
- Nobody wanna work
- We just wanna live it up
- Bring a cup
- Fill it up
- With the blood sweat and tears too
- I got no love for ideals you adhere to
- Dear England
- Please confess your sins now
- I see police tape when I'm takin my bins out
- A dead baby got dropped down the rubbish chute
- Please don't bum me out
- Cause I just bunned a zuut
- Don't look at me funny blud
- It's fucking true
- You don't believe me?
- I guess it's too much for you
- A girl got abducted
- And chopped up in Catford
- Racists with ice-picks?
- That shit is backward
- The news is confusing
- It's all manufactured
- Pop-propoganda
- Political actors
- Political factions and critical factors
- Get kidnapped and sympathise with your captors
- Trapped in the capital
- Death before dishonour
- Troops terrorised by suicide bombers
- And I wanna vomit
- Cause they're blowin up buses
- It's rough in the streets
- kids growing up cussin
- Get crushed in the rush hour
- Police have got too much power
- Now they move like a menace
- Ask Jean Charles De Menezes
- In the heavens
- They put seven in his head and sent him back to the essence
- They got us living in fear
- You get treated like a criminal if you're Muslim with a beard
- Twenty-four hour drinkin
- I'm sippin a beer
- But some don't know their limits
- It's a little severe
- The liquor is here
- The drugs are here
- The football thugs are here
- You could get mugged in here
- So plug your ear
- If you don't wanna hear the screams
- From the dungeon
- To the Huddersfield of dreams
- I feel the heat of Big Brother's eyes on my back
- He's watchin how I move
- And the way that I act
- He's watching what I read
- And the products that I buy
- My bank balance?
- That's the price of the property-rise
- My political allegiance?
- I'm angry!
- I didn't register my Oyster Card
- They can't track me
- ID's compulsory
- They got a back door
- You're forced to apply when you renew your passport
- It's hardcore
- But that's life in England
- And it goes for the whole United Kingdom
- And I still got love for the place where I'm living
- But right now they're ain't nothin great about Britain...
