HAVE YOU GOT FRIENDS? DO YOU PLAY OUT?
CAN YOU KNOCK AT THEIR DOOR? THEN YOUZ ALL SCREAM AND SHOUT.
CAN YOU GET ON YOUR BIKES? OR KICK A FOOTBALL ABOUT?
CAN YOU RUN ROUND YOUR STREET? WERE YOUZ ALL SCREAM AND SHOUT.
WELL I CAN'T DO THAT, CAUSE I AM JUST ONE
I'VE NO ONE TO PLAY WITH, MY FRIENDS HAVE ALL GONE.
SO WHAT HAPPENED TO ME? DID I GET A DISEASE?
AM I BEING BULLIED? OR JUST BEING TEASED?
MY GUILT IS MY HOME, OR WHERE IT IS STOOD,
NORRIS GREEN BOOT ESTATE, WE'RE IN "THE HOOD".
I HAVEN'T GOT FRIENDS, BUT THAT'S NOT CAUSE OF ME
I'VE NO ONE TO PLAY WITH, WHY CAN'T COUNCIL SEE?
THEY ARE WRECKING MY LIFE, AND I'M ONLY TEN,
WE'VE HAD YEARS OF THIS, SO OUR QUESTION IS "WHEN"?
I'M NOT A RECLUSE, OR SOME KID THAT'S "SO SAD"
IT'S THE SAME FOR US ALL, MY MUM AND MY DAD.
WE NEED A NEW STREET, ONE WITH HOUSES IN
WITH KIDS I CAN PLAY WITH, WE'D ALL MAKE A DIN
WHY AM I LEFT, IN THIS DERELICT SITE?
WITH NO ONE TO PLAY WITH, WITH NO ONE TO FIGHT
CAUSE COUNCIL KNOWS BEST, "LETS GET EVERYONE OUT
WE'LL BUILD THEM NEW HOUSES, THAT SHOULD SORT IT OUT"
BUT IT JUST GOT WORSE, NOW I'M ALL ON MY OWN
AND TO TALK TO MY FRIENDS, IT'S ALWAYS BY PHONE.
I JUST WANT TO LIVE, BE NORMAL AND NICE,
SO YOU THERE IN COUNCIL
JUST GIVE ME A LIFE!!!!!!!!!
