Sorry Dad, I Was Late for the Riots

歌詞

I got a bad back From a slow coach And a sore head From Skol Yes, I'm old school An I don't mean wise And I'll fight you For sure Sorry Dad, I was late for the riots I only found out it had all kicked off When the cameras cut to bonfires on the mall Slipknot came and assaulted Topshop For reasons best known to themselves With colourful paint and a photographer from Kerrang I've got a bad back From my hard work In the salt mines Of Wells I'll destroy the state In my North Face fleece It was a birthday gift From Gran Sorry Dad, I was late for the riots I tried to catch a cab on Camden High Street But the driver smelt the paraffin and ran I'd have driven it myself but the ibuprofen Had just kicked in and my head was killing I'm sure that Chumbawumba will understand Sorry Dad, I know your father disapproved of Che Guevara Kept his whistle whiter than a racist at a swimming pool Times have changed, the rich don't care about Total war or the death of the church They just keep getting richer Sorry Dad, I'm aware of the irony But you know my trust fund runs til 2025 No matter what I do So until then I'll enjoy the benefit Of a penthouse flat in Kensington And once a year I'll run with the wolves Oh, the injustice of life Love, be a policeman tonight
