Kano - IPod Generation lyrics

I don’t have to tell you things about
It, everybody knows things about it
It’s a "recession"
Governments are conservative, taxes
Are rising, and wages are falling
People are scared, they're petrified
The power buys a shilling's worth
A full tank costs an arm and a leg
Houses aren't even safe houses
Any more people
Aren't safe in their own homes
14 year old kids getting
Murdered on the street
ASBO kids binge drinking on park benches
Till all hours in the morning
Can’t even get on the bus anymore
They take up the whole back row listening to
That "hip hop" and "grime" noise they call
Music, off their faces on MDMA, meow-meow
Whatever they can get their
Thieving little hands on
All of that while teenage pregnancy
Rises through the roof
We know things are bad, worse than bad
THEY'RE CRAZY!
And all you do is sit there in your open-plan
Living rooms talking to absolute
Strangers on Facebook
And you wonder why your
Young sons and daughters
Aspire to be celebrities, football
Players and WAGs, it's madness
It seems like you've given up, but I’m
Not going to let you give up
I want you to get mad!
