Hooded Youth

I wrote this after the riots to express my disgust for the knobheads who made the worst of an already bad situation. I still do have faith in my fellow youth......but not much. Enjoy x

 

Hey there folks i'm a youth in a hood with my hands in my pockets always up to no good

can't be clever even though i should can't change the situation don't think i could

so i pick up a brick and smash up houses shout at the pigs and see who's the loudest

full of frustration, misinformation as i plant fire bombs on a humble nation

nee naw nee naw forget what you saw if i'm in prison how can i wage war

how can i strive for love and peace unless i attack the local police

and how can i finally reach redemption without more violent intervention

i ain't sure what i'm fighting for but i'll know what it is when i hit the floor

stone cold dead with a bullet in my head 'til then i'll fill those cunts with dread

and make a stand just like i'm meant ta' smashing up windows in a shopping centre

that's gonna show them who's the boss that's gonna cancel out the dross

that'll get me notoriety and that'll sort out society

but don't don't give me all that political bullshit i had a vote but i didn't use it

i just wanna use guns and knives i wanna fuck with peoples lives

i wanna grab any power i can 'til i end up in the back of a riot van

sitting with cuffs that bind my hands more news coverage than the taliban

leave me to rot in pentonville jail another statistic in the daily mail

now i look back and start to grin about the life i lived in sin

they took me future threw it in the bin and now look a the state i'm in

but i'd do it again if i really had to i'm a hooded youth and i'm coming for you!!!!
