Riot Squad - Cock Sparrer

When we were at school i thought he had it sussed

Fighting the law with the rest of us

Smoking, drinking, acting cool

'til they started treating him like a fool

Then he stayed on his own

For most of the time

Dreaming dreams of a life of crime

In and out of trouble

He cheated and lied

But who’d have thought he’d join the other side

He’s in the riot squad

The wanna fight squad

The shoot-on-sight squad

For law and right

Down to hendon with the boys in blue

It’s amazing what a few weeks can do

Out in the car, out on the street

South of the river on the frontline beat

He’s in the riot squad

The wanna fight squad

The shoot-on-sight squad

For law and right

Cracking heads, it was all a game

A finger was pointed, and he got the blame

Now he’s back where he started

He ain’t got a pound

Queuing with the sorts he used to kick around

Riot squad

The wanna fight squad

The shoot-on-sight squad

For law and right

The riot squad

The riot squad

The shoot-on-sight squad

The riot squad
