The Streets - The Irony of it All
Hello! Hello!
my name's Terry and I'm a law-abider
there's nothing I like more that getting fired up on beer
and when the weekend's here
I exercise my right to get paralettic and fight
good bloke fairly
but I get well leary when geezers look at me funny
bouncin' round like bunnies
I'm likely to cause mischief
good clean grief you must believe in
I ain't no thief, law-abiding and all, all legal
and who cares about my liver when it feels good
what you need is some real manhood
rasha! rasha!
burnin' cash up
puttin' peoples backs up
public disorder, I'll give you public disorder
and down eight pints and run all over the place
spitting in the face of an officer
see if that bothers ya
'cos I've never broke a law in my life
c'mon lads, let's have another fight
erm hello, my name's Tim and I'm a criminal
in the eyes of society I need to be in jail
for the choice of herbs I enhale
this ain't no wholesale operation
just a few eights and some playstations my vocation
and down at the station, the police hold no patience
let's talk space and time
I like to get deep sometimes
and think about Einstien and Carl Jung
and old kung fu movies I like to see
pass the hydrator please
---- Yeah, I'm floating on thin air
going to Amsterdam in the new year
top gear there
'cos I take pride in my hobby
home-made bongs using my engineering degree
Dear Leaders, please legalise weed for these reasons
like I was saying to him
I told him to fuck with me and you won't live
so I smacked him in the head and downed another Carling
Baddah baddah bing (for the lads like)
mad fight, his face a sad sight
Vodka and Snake Bite
goin' on like a right geez
he's a twat
shouldn't of looked at me like that
anyway, I'm an upstanding citizen
if the war came along, I'd be on the front line with 'em
can't stand crime either
them hooligans on heroin
drugs and criminals
those thugs are the pinnacle of the downfall of society
I got all the anger bent up inside of me
no I don't see why I should be the criminal
how could something with no recorded fatalities be illegal?
and how many deaths are there per year from alchohol?
I just completed Gran Turismo on the harder setting
we pose no threat on my city
oh, the pizza's here
will someone let him in please
we didn't order chicken
not a problem, we'll pick it out
I doubt they're meant to mess us about
after all, we're all adults, not louts
as I was saying, we're friendly peaceful people
we're not the ones out there causing trouble
we just sit in this hazy bubble with our quaters
discussing how beautiful Gail Porter is
MTV, BBC2, Channel 4 is on till six in the morning
then six in the morning, the sun dawns and it's my bedtime
causing trouble?!!
your stinking rabble saying I'm the lad who's spoiling it!
you're on drugs!
really bugs me when people try and tell me I'm a thug
just for getting drunk
I like getting drunk
because I'm an upstanding citizen
if the war came along, I'd be on the front line with 'em
now, Terry, you're repeating yourself
but that's okay, drunk people can't help that
a chemical reaction happening inside your brain
causes you to forget what you're saying
WHAT??!!!!!
I know exactly what I'm saying!
I'm perfectly sane!
you stinkin' student lame-o, go get a job!
and stop robbing us of our taxes
erm, well actually
according to research,
government funding for further education
pails in insignificance when compared to how much they spend
repairin' leary drunk people in the weekend
in casualty wards all over the land
why you cheeky little swine!
come here!
I'm gonna batter ya!
come here!
