Black Boys on Mopeds - 2009 Remaster

Margaret Thatcher on TV
 Shocked by the deaths that took place in Beijing
 It seems strange that she should be offended
 The same orders are given by her
 I've said this before now
 You said I was childish and you'll say it now
 Remember what I told you
 If they hated me they will hate you
 England's not the mythical land of Madame George and roses
 It's the home of police who kill black boys on mopeds
 And I love my boy, and that's why I'm leaving
 I don't want him to be aware that there's any such thing as grieving
 
 Young mother down at Smithfield
 5 a.m., looking for food for her kids
 In her arms she holds three cold babies
 And the first word that they learned was "please"
 These are dangerous days
 To say what you feel is to dig your own grave
 Remember what I told you
 If you were of the world, they would love you
 England's not the mythical land of Madame George and roses
 It's the home of police who kill black boys on mopeds
 And I love my boy, and that's why I'm leaving
 I don't want him to be aware that there's any such thing as grieving
