"(against the) london riots august 2011"

so go ahead & close so you can open up your eyes
maybe then you'll be able to to see all that's been lost inside
you can't deny & you can not hide everything that you realise
no not even if & when you try

there's been fighting on the streets but not for war
& not for peace just a bunch of kids in gangs
looting mugging stealing all that they can
& they don't understand anything about talking about a revolution

watching the mindless violence you need to silence
go to sleep & think for a while

seen the pictures on the news watched it all on youtube
all the people out in force but still with no understanding
only rage that they don't understand
just jumping on a band wagon

hitched a ride with the gravy train
they can't complain when they think it's cool
to live a life the way they do hurting themselves & those around them
not those sitting in ivory towers

watching the mindless violence you need to silence
go to sleep & think for a while

so join together and fight the cause
but don't destroy all that's been fought for
it's not a game & it's not your war i know it's not all your fault
but it's easy to know simple rights & wrongs

watching the mindless violence you need to silence
go to sleep & think for a while

london's again burning england's burning
many more problems but the worlds still turning.........

This is one of the best tracks on youtube about the riots. I've selected this and the best of the best and created a facebook page called UK Riots: a Musical Response. Please like and share. There is some other great stuff on there

Flat screen tv by the smoke is better
