|
In a beat up Ford Cortina on Saturday nights |
|
Second step and urban blight |
|
Hear come the boilers to check out the scene |
|
But that's never too true, if you know what I mean |
|
The reception is cool, so turn up the heat |
|
Come on boys, do some East side beat |
|
Pick up your piece and make your play |
|
I wonder what the old man will say |
|
Caught in the act with a gun in your hand |
|
And a fat old judge doesn't understand |
|
Burning and looting down on the street |
|
Come on boys, do some East side beat |
|
Out in the jungle on a Saturday night |
|
Trip over a junky and there's two in a fight |
|
Go over to the fellas just chewin' the fat |
|
Shark skin apes in pork pie hats |
|
Big ugly skinhead across the street |
|
Come on boys, do the East side beat |
|
In to this sticka for a rack of pool |
|
There's a girl at the bar that's beginning to drool |
|
One more chaser I'll move right in |
|
She gets much fresher as I feel up my skin |
|
Keep the chasers cold and the whisky neat |
|
Come on boys, do the East side beat |
|
So it's up in the morning dread lox straight |
|
Out on the turf its a theatre of hate |
|
In a land you can't even call your own |
|
And the big fat coppers won't leave you alone |
|
Push you around do the law with their feet |
|
Come on boys, do the East side beat |
|
So it's off to jail put and up into the dock |
|
Send you off for a short sharp shock |
|
Tell racist jokes as they put you away |
|
Never even listen to what the hell you say |
|
Burning police cars down on the street |
|
Come on boys, do the East side beat |
|
East side beat, East side beat |
|
East side beat, East side beat |
|
Burning police cars down on the street |
|
Come on boys, do some East side beat |
