I'm gonna pack up my troubles in my old kit-bag, I'm gonna run a mile from here
E A B
'Cos the ASBO generation make this a terror nation full of loathing and fear

All the bleary-eyed boys getting high on the low street

While the girls lift clothes down the high street and they say,

"Yeah I know, I know it's wrong but I can't be bothered to pay,

I got the money but I need it for my dealer today."

But they were promised more from this life

"They're pricks," he says, "I didn't get a second chance,

Parents and governors can you handle the truth?

Who's to blame? The mainstream media?

Our rulers and idols get greedier and seedier

They're an embarrassment, they should be shamed

For misguiding our youth, they're the ones to blame

They sit back and watch the evil grow from the youth club ruins where the kids used to go

Take parts of Salford in Manchester, dying on its feet

While the players at United get a hundred grand a week

And the time to film a girl whilst you spit-roast her

You hang about the park but you don't play football

You trouble me for money 'cos you've got to make a drug call (?)
