Riot Squad

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 a 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
 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
 Queing with the sorts he used to kick around.
