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
[Verse 2]
He's got a hoodie on, give him a hug
On second thoughts, don't
You don't want to get mugged
Oh shit, too late, that was kinda dumb
Whose idea was that? Stupid ****
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
All drinkers, drug takers
Every single one of us burns the herb
Keep on believing what you read in the papers
Council estate kids, scum of the earth
[Verse 6]
Think you know how life on a council estate is
From everything you 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
[Verse 7]
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
[Verse 8]
Oi, I said, oi
What you looking 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
[Verse 9]
Real, yeah
Because my manor's ill
My manor's ill
For real, yeah
You know my manor's ill
My manor's ill
[Verse 10]
You could get lost in this concrete jungle
New builds keep springing up outta nowhere
Take the wrong turn down a one way junction
Find yourself in the hood, nobody goes there
[Verse 11]
We got an eco friendly government
They preserve our natural habitat
Built an entire Olympic village
Around where we live without pulling down any flats
[Verse 12]
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 knowing someone's got our backs
When we get attacked
[Verse 13]
Don't bloody give me that, I'll lose my temper
Who closed down the community center?
I kill time there, used to be a member
What will I do know until September?
[Verse 14]
Schools out, rules out
Get your bloody tools out
London's burning, I predict a riot
Falling, fall out, who knows what it's all about?
What did that chief say?
Something about the kaisers
[Verse 15]
Kids on the street, no, they never miss a beat
Never miss a cheap thrill when it comes their way
Let's go looting, no, not looting
The high streets closer, cover your face
[Verse 16]
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
[Verse 17]
Oi, I said, oi
What you looking 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
[Verse 18]
Real, yeah
Because my manor's ill
My manor's ill
For real, yeah
You know my manor's ill
My manor's ill
[Verse 19]
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
[Verse 20]
What needs fixing is the system
Not shop windows down in Brixton
Riots on the television
You can't put us all in prison, OI
[Verse 21]
Oi, I said, oi
What you looking 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
[Verse 22]
Real, yeah
Because my manor's ill
My manor's ill
For real, yeah
You know my manor's ill
My manor's ill
