|
Tower blocks we lived in all come tumbling down |
|
Moved out to another slum in another part of town |
|
Playing football in the street and pissing in the lift |
|
Who really ever thought it would come to this |
|
East ham high street market on a |
|
Saturday Stuffing things in coats, making out getaway |
|
Back round |
|
Charlie's house to see just what we'd got |
|
In school |
|
Monday morning we'd just flog the lot |
|
Blame the teachers, blame the school |
|
Blame the parents, come on blame one and all |
|
Blame the coppers, blame the drugs |
|
Blame the system, but don't blame us |
|
Games of chicken in the kitchen with a carving knife |
|
Eight stitches in my hand, |
|
I think I got off light |
|
You're girlfriend's there in tears your mate's made another pass when's he gonna learn he only has to ask |
|
Blame the teachers, blame the school |
|
Blame the parents, come on blame one and all |
|
Blame the coppers, blame the drugs |
|
Blame the system, but don't blame us |
|
Schoolteachers sing you won't come to anything |
|
There's no future in playing these dives |
|
But looking back today we won't have another way |
|
Because we had the times off our lives |
|
Out of school, out off work and out of cigarettes |
|
We'll all have some breakfast if he wins the bet |
|
All the posing & posturing never made much sense |
|
Little boys, little man, little innocence |
|
Blame the teachers, blame the school |
|
Blame the parents, come on blame one and all |
|
Blame the coppers, blame the drugs |
| [2x] |
Blame the system, but don't blame us |
