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 (chorus) 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 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

    Great song with a great message. Not sure how well it translates to present day, but still a great song.
