Your Paying Attention Now Aren't You?

Lyrics

In the streets of London the peace has been disturbed
Fires burning everywhere the language of the unheard
There's a generation thwarted with no ownership and pride
And fat cats with bellies as wide as the rich and poor divide
A broken social contract, bottom up austerity
Oh we can condemn it but we're paying attention now, aren't we?

Blame it on the hoodies, blame it on the feral youth
But remember you were young once and you cared about the truth.
We sold out to the free market made a couple of billionaires
And all we got was this mess and Macdonalds everywhere.
Keep unemployment high, keeps the cost of labour low
Keeps young men on the streets and well, what do you know.

If you head down to Dixons you can take some stuff for free
You can get an apple mac and a High Def TV
But if you work in canary wharf in a bank too big to fail
There's much better looting going down and you don't have to go to jail
Steal from a generation for the pockets of a few
But it can only go so far, and your paying attention now, aren't you?

Has the west started to wake up and take back the life liberty and freedom? Or has a small bunch of media types helped to progress a diversion?

I must confess, I fucking hate anarchists.

Always have, even when I was younger.

[SCL0PS]

@chthonios Same here, If people want to protest, do it with a sane head and respect to others. Burning shit is dumb as fuck.

[Katfellow]

I'm not sure what goal the people expect to reach with this. They're burning their home town, right? Are they going to effect anyone but themselves by burning & looting each other's stuff?

[SCL0PS]

@Katfellow It is stupid shit. The only winners will be the insurance companies, that will jack up next years premiums.

[SCL0PS]

@Elenkhos No, I am up in Glasgow, but i am in constant skype contact with friends down in London.

[Elenkhos]

@SCL0PS Are you there mate? I lived in London for years, in Paddington...

[SCL0PS]

@Zoink555 You are correct. They are cunts.

[SCL0PS]

@Elenkhos It's all going to shit.

[owlydog]

@SCL0PS then after they help to put London back together give them the punishment they deseve or perhaps even take then in the center of town in a cage were they can't get out and have ppl stone um and see how they like it n burn all there things right in front of there face see how they like it tit for tat
