"999" lyrics
Wake up in the night
Fighting with my sheets
Fighting in my sleep
Molotovs whilst we're fighting in the streets
Taking aims at the Bobbies on the beat
Well if they're gonna do the crime
Then they're gonna take the heat
And everybody's saying call 999
And everybody's saying call 999
And everybody's saying call 999
Call the swine, call the swine, call the swine
And when they come in the middle of the night
Will you cower in the corner or fight, fight, fight, fight?
When will you say that enough is enough
When their hands are round the necks of the ones you love?
It's not one
Bad apple
It's the whole
God damn tree
And when they come in the middle of the night
Will you cower in the corner or fight, fight, fight, fight, fight, fight, fight, fight
(Fight, fight, fight...)
So many cases, so many cases
If they're not rapists
They're fucking racists
Hiding their faces so we can't see
But they still catch us on the CCTV
When they act above the law that they swore to protect
To protect all the people that we didn't elect
They call it order I call it disrespect
If they want justice well that's what they'll get
And everybody's saying call 999
And everybody's saying call 999
And everybody's saying call 999
Call the swine, call the swine, call the swine
And when they come in the middle of the night
Will you cower in the corner or fight, fight, fight, fight?
When will you say that enough is enough
When their hands are round the necks of the ones you love?
It's not one
Bad apple
It's the whole
God damn tree
And when they come in the middle of the night
Will you cower in the corner or fight, fight, fight, fight, fight, fight, fight, fight
(Fight, fight, fight...)
And when they come in the middle of the night
Will you cower in the corner or fight, fight, fight, fight?
When will you say that enough is enough
When their hands are round the necks of the ones you love?
It's not one
Bad apple
It's the whole
God damn tree
And when they come in the middle of the night
Will you cower in the corner or fight, fight, fight, fight, fight, fight, fight, fight
(Fight, fight, fight...)
Fighting with my sheets
Fighting in my sleep
Molotovs whilst we're fighting in the streets
Taking aims at the Bobbies on the beat
Well if they're gonna do the crime
Then they're gonna take the heat
And everybody's saying call 999
And everybody's saying call 999
And everybody's saying call 999
Call the swine, call the swine, call the swine
And when they come in the middle of the night
Will you cower in the corner or fight, fight, fight, fight?
When will you say that enough is enough
When their hands are round the necks of the ones you love?
It's not one
Bad apple
It's the whole
God damn tree
And when they come in the middle of the night
Will you cower in the corner or fight, fight, fight, fight, fight, fight, fight, fight
(Fight, fight, fight...)
So many cases, so many cases
If they're not rapists
They're fucking racists
Hiding their faces so we can't see
But they still catch us on the CCTV
When they act above the law that they swore to protect
To protect all the people that we didn't elect
They call it order I call it disrespect
If they want justice well that's what they'll get
And everybody's saying call 999
And everybody's saying call 999
And everybody's saying call 999
Call the swine, call the swine, call the swine
And when they come in the middle of the night
Will you cower in the corner or fight, fight, fight, fight?
When will you say that enough is enough
When their hands are round the necks of the ones you love?
It's not one
Bad apple
It's the whole
God damn tree
And when they come in the middle of the night
Will you cower in the corner or fight, fight, fight, fight, fight, fight, fight, fight
(Fight, fight, fight...)
And when they come in the middle of the night
Will you cower in the corner or fight, fight, fight, fight?
When will you say that enough is enough
When their hands are round the necks of the ones you love?
It's not one
Bad apple
It's the whole
God damn tree
And when they come in the middle of the night
Will you cower in the corner or fight, fight, fight, fight, fight, fight, fight, fight
(Fight, fight, fight...)
