Riot Squad Lyrics - Cock Sparrer

When we were at school I thought he had it sussed 

Fighting the law with the rest of us 

Smoking, drinking, acting cool. 

('Til) they started treating him like a fool 

Then he stayed on his own for most of the time 

Dreaming dreams of a life of crime 

In and out of trouble, he cheated and lied 

But who'd have thought he'd join the other side 

[Chorus] 

He's in a riot squad 

The wanna fight squad 

The shoot on sight squad 

For law and right 

Down to Hendon with the boys in blue 

It's amazing what a few weeks can do 

Out in the car, out on the street 

South of the river on the frontline beat 

[Chorus] 

Cracking heads, it was all a game 

A finger was pointed and he got the blame 

Now he's back where he started, he ain't got a pound 

Queing with the sorts he used to kick around. 

[Chorus repeat...]
