Parasite - The People Aren't Going To Stand For This

This is our response to the 2011 UK Riots in Tottenham, Croydon, Brixton, Birmingham, Salford, Manchester, Ealing, Liverpool, Bristol, and everywhere else where the disaffected have decided to show their disrepect for their homes, their neighbours and ultimately themselves.

LYRICS (Scanlon/ Banks):

This could be the day that you lose your home,
This could be the day that the tide starts turning,
You've got an eye on the Arab Spring,
But none of you knew it was London b-burning,

The people aren't going to stand for this.

Hey Mr C. Have you heard the news?
Feeling you've got no future means there's nothing to lose,
Can't lose your jobs because there's none around,
Their hands are in the windows, it doesn't matter about the pound.

The people aren't going to stand for this.

Would you say I was immoral or cynical,
If I suggested people weren't born criminals?
I was told there was a reason for everything.
When will it stop? I didn't do anything wrong,
But it seems so easy to follow along,
How can you reason when they're not after anything?

This could be the day that you lose your freedom,
This could be the day you give in to hate,
They'll stop the bastards, promise "never again",
C's got his chance to sell you the police state...
