In whose name is London burning!”
Clucking middle classes lament, “In whose name is London burning!”
Homes, businesses, journeys to and fro
They’re disgusting! Burning buildings, wrecking cars, smashing windows, looting stores
Irrational teens high on mayhem and excitement
Buck authority, challenge the state, lead the police on a feckless chase
It’s your summer make your noise see the world take a moment for you
Reckless, young, incoherent hormones not slave to purpose, aim or goal
Savvy kids, consumerism bred,
It’s all faceless
Multinationals, paper money, hedging-insurance, murky maths
Thinly held in society’s fabric, marginal schools, gentrified neighbours, parent working 12 hour shifts
The long summer with nothing to lose
First it was the unions, then the students, now is the youngster of 14 or 17
It’s a lost cause but they don’t care
Its summer, they are fed up
In whose name is London burning?
