The Lyrics
As social unrest spreads to many more English cities for a fourth day, PM David Cameron had to cut short his vacation in Italy to return back to an embattled nation. The worst outbreak of social unrest in 25 years! Hooded youths have beat the Police repeatedly using technology of Black Berries, Facebook, and Twitter and involving "Two-wheeled" rolling assaults using bicycles and mopeds!!! Police have been called into London from outlaying areas and yet the violence continues unabated... with no end in sight for arson, rioting, and looting.
English towns are burning down,
Burning down, burning down.
English towns are burning down,
By thugs with Black Berries!
Smashing windows and torching cars,
Torching cars, torching cars.
Smashing windows and torching cars,
By thugs with Black Berries!
How much violence can England take?,
Can England take?, can England take?
How much violence can England take?,
In 8 London districts!
Thugs on Facebook and Twitter win,
And Twitter win, and Twitter win
Thugs on Facebook and Twitter win,
In 8 London districts!
PM David Cameron‘s vacation ends,
Vacation ends, vacation ends
PM David Cameron‘s vacation ends,
Back to an embattled city!
Now push has come to shove,
Come to shove, come to shove.
Now push has come to shove,
Back to an embattled city!
The violence is spreading around,
Spreading around, spreading around
The violence is spreading around,
Involving other English cities!
400 arrests and damage untold,
Damage untold, damage untold
400 arrests and damage untold,
Involving other English cities!
Social programs did get cut,
Did get cut, did get cut
Social programs did get cut,
Seems a bit shady!
Social unrest is what you’ve got,
What you’ve got, What you’ve got.
Social unrest is what you’ve got,
Seems a bit shady!
What is poor Theresa May to do?
May to do, May to do?
What is poor Theresa May to do?
Gather Police quickly!
Gangs of hooded youths reign,
Youths reign, youths reign
Gangs of hooded youths reign,
Gather Police quickly!
What'll end this rioting spree,
Rioting spree, rioting spree?
What'll end this rioting spree,
Across English cities
Arson and looting close to anarchy,
Close to anarchy, Close to anarchy
Arson and looting close to anarchy,
Across English cities
A battle between those that have and have not ,
And have not, and have not
A battle between those that have and have not ,
It’s such a pity!
Birmingham, Manchester, and Liverpool too
Liverpool too, Liverpool too
Birmingham, Manchester, and Liverpool too
It’s such a pity!
Burning down, burning down.
English towns are burning down,
By thugs with Black Berries!
Smashing windows and torching cars,
Torching cars, torching cars.
Smashing windows and torching cars,
By thugs with Black Berries!
How much violence can England take?,
Can England take?, can England take?
How much violence can England take?,
In 8 London districts!
Thugs on Facebook and Twitter win,
And Twitter win, and Twitter win
Thugs on Facebook and Twitter win,
In 8 London districts!
PM David Cameron‘s vacation ends,
Vacation ends, vacation ends
PM David Cameron‘s vacation ends,
Back to an embattled city!
Now push has come to shove,
Come to shove, come to shove.
Now push has come to shove,
Back to an embattled city!
The violence is spreading around,
Spreading around, spreading around
The violence is spreading around,
Involving other English cities!
400 arrests and damage untold,
Damage untold, damage untold
400 arrests and damage untold,
Involving other English cities!
Social programs did get cut,
Did get cut, did get cut
Social programs did get cut,
Seems a bit shady!
Social unrest is what you’ve got,
What you’ve got, What you’ve got.
Social unrest is what you’ve got,
Seems a bit shady!
What is poor Theresa May to do?
May to do, May to do?
What is poor Theresa May to do?
Gather Police quickly!
Gangs of hooded youths reign,
Youths reign, youths reign
Gangs of hooded youths reign,

One hot little parody! 5's! :-)
Amazon.uk is selling out of aluminium baseball bats. I never knew Brits played baseball.
Amazing, the Chavs are destroying buildings even the Luftwaffe couldn't knock down. Ironically, it's the BNP'ers who most want the Chavs to get slaughtered by the police. Well, you know what they say: Even a broken clock is right twice a day. I just hope the one on top of Westminster isn't the broken clock! Because this looks like it could be the prequel to "V for Vendetta!"
Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, Yemen, Syria, England... Go clubbing has a different meaning for the kids of today...
Nerdy thugs, huh? Wow, hadn't heard of this. Rather humorous
London's burning. So are other cities. Will there be Anarchy in the U.K.? I don't condone rioting because innocent people get hurt and killed and their property gets trashed and destroyed. Still, I must ask this question: why didn't something like this occur when B.Liar was PM? Were the Brits acting like sheep like the Yanks did during the reign of Dumbya?
No, the hooligan Brits are acting just like you leftard parasites did back before Brainlack Hussein Zeroboy illegally occupied the White House. Something like this did happen in Blair's time--in France, where Muslim "youths" and other fellow fascist colleagues of yours burned thousands of cars. The difference in America is that when you traitor parasites attack us, we patriots exercise our Second Amendment rights and shoot you.
You don't HAVE Second Amendment rights unless you belong to "a well-regulated militia." What's happening in Britain proves that the LAST thing you do in an economic downturn is institute "austerity measures." Cameron's going to lose the government over this. He's lucky he's not the Prime Minister of Japan.
These riots aren't about the haves and have nots, they're about the motivated and the unmotivated. The Koreans found out about the misguided wrath of the unmotivated during the L.A. riots in the early 90's. Scores of hardworking Koreans, after enduring daily shoplifting in their businesses by the unmotivated scum of that region, had their shops burned down because of a verdict that they had nothing to do with. In a country where the activists find the right to abortion and gay marriage intrinsic in the constitution, yet mince words about a "well regulated militia" to try to deny citizens the ability to defend themselves, we will put down any chance of the unmotivated to wreak U.K type havoc. Quite like a video game in which zombies are dealt with quickly and efficiently
