Dear sir or madame, I don't normally write to the press
|
But the neighbourhood where I grew up is really quite depressed.
|
Society is crumbling but the media's obsessed with boobs, bums,
|
Dot com, millionaires, fame, fashion, footsie shares
|
But people they couldn't care less.
|
|
While parliamentary yobbos shout abuse around the house
|
Do-gooders and reformers lead our nation to defeat.
|
While murderers and terrorists get compassionate release
|
You're out now. You're back on the street yeh, back on the street.
|
|
That's why I remain yours truly, confused N10.
|
|
I close my eyes and lay back and I think of England.
|
I dream about that green and pleasant land we knew as England.
|
That throne of kings, that sceptred isle set in a silver sea
|
Has turned into a laughing stock divided without harmony.
|
|
That's why I remain yours truly, confused N10
|
|
The burglars have ransacked all the houses in the street
|
While Mercs and Posches double park with sheer impunity.
|
When towed away the ponces plead to all and sundry
|
Referee what about me?
|
|
So forgive my lack of confidence and total low esteem
|
But the dog eat dog society has deemed us all has-beens.
|
While our smiling bland spin doctors slyly lead us down the track
|
to a stab in the back.
|
|
I'm much too terrified to go out at night but the television's boring.
|
They're vandalising all the cars on the street
|
but I won't lay down and take defeat.
|
|
That's why I remain yours truly, confused N10
|
|
Thank you goodnight
|
