1799 - Revolution number 99

They set a bus on fire in Tottenham
And next day some kids threw rocks at the police
In Enfield. Walthamstow and Edmonton
Apparently also had serious peace
Disturbances on their normally safe streets
In other words, after the first outbreak
The kids of those places wanted a piece
Of the same action - well, it's fun to make
A riot, burn a cop car, and to take
Electrical goods from shops, be shown on
The telly, but I do wonder if these
Are just kids showing off, or should we wake
To a harsh new climate since things began
To go downhill almost as fast as Greece
