It's summertime and the country's on the line The lads are on the streets and the riots doing fine

Picking up the pieces after the night                 Picking up the pieces for another fight
E                                             D
The bricks beat down in the boys in blue         There's no escape, they're coming for you
E                                             C                                      D
