“America is a Gun
England is a cup of tea.”
Now England is a knife.
Daily news,
of young lives lost
to the blade.
Where are the people
protecting them?
Postcode wars
poverty wars
gang wars
A generation lost
We fear
the world
our children will grow up in
teenage soldiers
who see the streets
as a battle field
Oh, we wish
England was a cup of tea
But another life was taken yesterday,
and England is a knife.
