lyrics

There you are lying on the floor
Another kid trying to make his name
A normal day in Peckham
Up 'til then it's all been a game
But you won't get up, you won't laugh or run
Who would have thought your time has come like this

So many lives gone
We've got to love our people so they love themselves
So they love other people
Let the fear flow over not put you on a corner
So they don't spill blood like treacle
Love sweet love

Maybe you were always running
People say you had it coming
Now you're the lesson through which your brothers make something
You talked your dreams by the church wall
Some them charge some them fall
And all the video games and shoot 'em ups
And all the scared crews all tooled up
And the zombie highs in the high rise
Politicians [full of lies]
The newspaper of the profiteer
Distracting with hate and fear
And a media that needs no proof
In a country that rejects its youth

You have to care for your people or they'll get back at ya
You have to care for your people or they'll get back at ya
You have to care for your people or they'll get back at ya
But this boy's another body to step over

So many lives gone
We've got to love our people so they love themselves
So they love other people
Let the fear flow over not put you on a corner
So they don't spill blood like treacle
Love sweet love

But you were loved
In the tent with the forensics
You were loved
Stopped short suspended
You were loved
From a baby to your exit
You are loved
Like a life that never ended
