BURNT CROSS LYRICS

"Ian Tomlinson"

I take a walk around the city lights,
Walk the streets where they took that life
Flowers lay where he fell that day,
Stood in the wrong place, at the wrong time
Months pass by and the time moves on,
The police they lied and now think they’ve won
Say they’re sorry and regret his death,
But you can smell the bullshit on their breaths
It’s been broadcast for all to see, his final walk,
Shows quite clearly that the coppers were the ones who were at fault
Cos Ian Tomlinson did not deserve to fucking die,
But they cover their own backs, don’t think we won’t see through their lies
Surely this is our final warning, remember next time we take to the streets
Every day that there’s no justice, there’s no peace, fuck the police
Corruption seeps from every pore in their cold flesh,
Try to compensate the victims, cannot compensate their deaths
Barricades you placed that day to break us, keep us pacified
Will make us stronger and wiser, think it’s gonna work next time?
Cover your faces; think your safe in your disguise,
PC Harwood had no ID cos he had something to hide
He’s not the only one who’s guilty, not the only cunt still there
Thugs in uniform becomes the norm, but do you fucking care?
If we let this pass we let them win, so we must keep building up the pressure
If this was you or me we’d be doing time, at her majesties pleasure
