the kids are rest-less
they just need something to do
from ilford to ladywell
the streets have become cruel oh

he said i will not listen
and i won't be told
england is mine i will take what i want
he said i will not listen
and i won't be told
we will roam

they stood on his fin-gers
kicked the back of his head like a ball
they film the beating
on their mobile phones

she said i will not listen
and i won't be told
england is mine i will take what i want
she said i will not listen
and i won't be told
we will make up our own rules

i'm waiting for something cruel
i'm waiting for something cruel
i'm waiting for something cruel
i'm just waiting for something cruel
i'm just waiting for something cruel
i'm waiting for something cruel to happen
