- 0:36[Acoustic guitar intro]
- 1:25Come on, let's have it
- 1:28You miserable prick
- 1:30I will do what I want
- 1:32I will drink till I'm sick
- 1:35To my stomach
- 1:36I'm sick of the same boring songs
- 1:39I am sick of these pavements
- 1:42I find myself on
- 1:44Great Britain, I hate you
- 1:47I'll say that with pride
- 1:49It's my right to be violent
- 1:52When you fed me lies
- 1:57I'm a rotter, a menace
- 2:00When I want to be
- 2:02And I've worked for that right because
- 2:05Nothing comes free
- 2:07I have slaved all my life
- 2:10In a dull nine-to-five
- 2:11I just rinse and repeat
- 2:14While I'm barely alive
- 2:16Great Britain, I loathe you with murderous glee
- 2:21I will do to this country what you've done to me
- 2:31Destroyyyyyyy
- 2:39I want to tear apart these buildings
- 2:41From the cinder blocks they stand
- 2:43Leave this town in dust and rubble
- 2:45Make some trouble with my hands
- 2:47I won't lie, I'm fucking wasted
- 2:50But I wasted all my youth
- 2:51And I stay so damn complacent
- 2:53Getting wasted is my truth
- 2:55So my style of self-expression
- 2:57Is a fist into the gut
- 2:59It's throwing up upon these pavements
- 3:01Shut your fucking mouth, you slut
- 3:03Banished angel, I am Lucifer
- 3:05My reign like Genghis Khan
- 3:07Soon you will all know my name
- 3:09I am the storm after the calm
- 3:11I'm the victim of the victimless
- 3:13The pill that makes you sick
- 3:15I am chaos incarnate
- 3:19Let's fucking have it then, you prick!!
- 3:25Now the rules of the street fight are simple
- 3:28It's pretty much anything goes
- 3:31Keep in the street, pretty firm on your feet
- 3:34It pays to be sweet on your toes
- 3:36And fools they have fallen for clumsy mistakes
- 3:39Late to react, cop the fist to the face
- 3:42Now the rules at the street fight are simple
- 3:45Break that little prick's nose
- 3:50Throw a punch he swallow it, follow it
- 3:52Grab the collar, quick hollow-tip like karate kick
- 3:54Martial art master, spark a bitch
- 3:56Park a fist on the landing strip
- 3:57Carnage, it finds the cartilage
- 3:58Karma served like a carbonated cola on a crucifix
- 4:01Kill
- 4:02Vincent wanna kill
- 4:03Who blood gets spilled
- 4:04Move, double-tap, rude boy
- 4:05Kill or be killed
- 4:07Do it for the fun, blud
- 4:08Do it for the thrill
- 4:09Blue lights, boy run
- 4:11Blue lights, boy chill
- 4:14[Glass breaking]
- 4:15[Grunts and moans]
- 4:23[Moans]
- 4:59So it goes in the absence of the light
- 5:05The devil sows
- 5:07A seed in idle minds
- 5:10Vincent, was shaken run from the law
- 5:12Hide from the bacon, crouch on the floor
- 5:15The call to war made him
- 5:16Hate the world
- 5:17The world spits on him, rapes him
- 5:19Hits him, kicks him when he's down and that shapes him
- 5:24He hears the sound of a copper
- 5:26Hot up on his tail proper
- 5:28Vincent off his rocker
- 5:29Bothered by the lie that Britain sold him
- 5:31What a shocker
- 5:32Where greedy eat the poor
- 5:34A holy war
- 5:34The chosen prosper
- 5:36But some are never chosen
- 5:37They stay frozen in the locker
- 5:39Destined to survive in 9 to 5 and watch the clock, but
- 5:42Don't think about reality, my little happy shopper
- 5:45A brand new show on Netflix to distract you from the horror
- 5:48And swallow all your morals for a retweet or a follow
- 5:51And shadow ban the problem, man
- 5:53A soul sold for a dollar
- 5:54And keep the fight amongst yourself
- 5:56Don't think about the squalor
- 5:58The systems that impose it, or the rules that we all honour
- 6:00And fuck it, Vincent
- 6:01Cooked to boiling point
- 6:02He's cannon fodder
- 6:04So what's the use in running?
- 6:05He's already in the locker
- 6:06He's careless with his actions now
- 6:08A clumsy motherfucker
- 6:10He turned to face his fate
- 6:11'Cause fate's a bitch and none will stop her
- 6:15Richard was an officer who stood at 6 foot 3
- 6:18Was his first day back at work after a
- 6:20Time of absent leave
- 6:22Working London on the night shift
- 6:24What he didn't think he'd see
- 6:25Was a boy with a guitar
- 6:27Bruised and battered on his knees
- 6:30But Richard lived in caution now
- 6:31Tormented by his past
- 6:33Not so quick to find a trigger
- 6:36Not so fast
- 6:37But Richard was a righteous man
- 6:39Who lived inside the law
- 6:41So he leapt upon poor Vincent
- 6:43And he cuffed him to the floor
