歌曲 | Nothing For The Kids |
歌手 | The Holloways |
专辑 | So This Is Great Britain? |
作曲 : Danger, Fowler, Jackson ... | |
I'm gonna pack up my troubles in my old kit-bag, I'm gonna run a mile from here | |
'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." | |
And her friends are all the same and they know it's not right | |
But they were promised more from this life | |
And they will steal and they will fight | |
Because there's nothing for the kids to do today | |
And they will haunt the streets at night | |
Because there's nothing for the kids to do today | |
Shaun has an ASBO, he's only fourteen, he's tired and he's bored with the local police | |
"They're pricks," he says, "I didn't get a second chance, | |
They didn't ask why I did it" | |
The pigs ... | |
The paedophiles playing his neck of the woods, | |
He's got no safety numbers, his ASBO won't allow him to be hanging around in gangs | |
What is he to do? He's been kicked out of school | |
What a way to fix a fool, we are failing our youth | |
Parents and governors can you handle the truth? | |
And they will steal and they will fight | |
Because there's nothing for the kids to do today | |
And they will haunt the streets at night | |
Because there's nothing for the kids to do today | |
There's nothing for the kids to do | |
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 | |
The kids love them anyway, it don't make sense | |
When you have a go at me for the sake of fifty pence | |
Especially when some of you so called "poor kids" have got the money for a digital camcorder | |
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 (?) | |
You've got time, you've got money but you wrap it in a joint 'cos you don't see the point in using your time for making your dreams come true | |
You're all too busy trying to lose our respect for you | |
Why're you proud to be rude? | |
You're just trying to be cool in front of your mates | |
That's all that really matters when you're living in hate | |
And they will steal and they will fight | |
Because there's nothing for the kids to do today | |
And they will haunt the streets at night | |
Because there's nothing for the kids to do today | |
Why do you wanna grow up, why do you wanna grow so fast and throw your youth away? | |
Don't throw your youth away and don't let me hear you say | |
That there's nothing for the kids to do today | |
There's plenty for the kids to do today | |
There's so much for the kids to do |
