lyrics

I was born in London city down in '89
Then I moved up to Manchester at the age of 5
I've been all over this little island
still I don't know where I'm from

I coulda London to Birmingham to Manchetser
Liverpool, Bradford to Exeter
It's All England
No matter where you're from

When I think of England I don't think of black cabs and cops
I think of chain links and locks
Dirty looks and chicken shops, tower blocks
and a wrap of weed in my socks
England's a bitch unless you're rich
My clothes ripped so I gotta learn how to stitch
I can hear the music in Handsworth
and I can smell the burnt earth in Toxteth
In Bristol city they know what you're life is worth
So they chase the crazy supermarkets out of the town

Chorus

And it seems they never learn
If you're playing with fire, you must catch a burn
But who's gonna be left to burn in this machine?
Man said "terrorist", what do you mean?
Is it the way the state is run
thats got this kid's finger on the trigger of a gun?
Is it the parenthood
or is it the girl inside the pages of the Sun?
Is it the people that they paint as public enemy number one?
Does nothing matter on a Sunday morning when you're done?
See youths scatter, rat-a-tat-a-tat against the Sun
If you're a Punk Rocker with no future or fun
or a Rebel Roots Rocker shouting rally run come

Repeat first verse and chorus
