Rioters’ Rap

Glastonbury raps…..I wrote this during the riots

Rioters’ Rap

Saw it on computer….. be a trainee looter
I put on my hoodie….. met up with my buddy
So nothing would get missed…….. wrote myself a list
First you pack a brick……… helps you enter quick
Fling it through the glass……. then we all can pass
Some trainers for me brother……. a flat screen for me mother
And if it goes to plan ……… a walkman for me gran

Myself I’ll get a phone…….  exclusive ringin’ tone
Thought it would be funny……. all got no payin’ money
Didn’t  plan to fight……… when I started out that night
Police dogs can be snappy….. so I’m not very happy
I stand here in the dock ……. while that fella in a frock
Says for rioters you see …… I can throw away the key
You will stay in detention …….. until you draw your pension.
