 Ghetto Defendant
 It is heroin pity
 Not tear gas nor baton charge
 That stops you taking the city
 Strung out committee
 Walled out of the city
 Clubbed down from uptown
 Sprayed pest from the nest
 Run out to Barrio Town
 The guards are itchy
 Forced to watch at the feast
 Then sweep up the night
 Flipped pieces of coin
 Broken bottles
 Exchanged for birthright
 Graphted in a jiffy
 Ghetto Defendant
 It is heroin pity
 Strung out committee
 Not tear gas nor baton charge
 That stops you taking the city
 Not sitting pretty
 Graphted in a jiffy
 Strung out committee
 Not tear gas nor baton charge
 To stop you taking the city
 The ghetto Prince of gutter poets
 Was bounced out of the room
 Jean Arthur Rimbaud
 By the bodyguards of greed
 For disturbing the tomb
 1873
 His words like flamthrowers
 Paris Commune
 Burnt the ghettos in their chests
 His face painted whiter
 And he was laid to rest
 Died in Marseille
 Ghetto Defendant
 Buried in Charleville
 It is heroin pity
 Not tear gas nor baton charge
 To stop you taking the city
 Shot into eternity
 It is heroin pity
 Not tear gas nor baton charge
 To stop you taking the city
 Guatemala, Honduras, Poland, the Hundred Years' War
 TV re-running living
 Death squads, Salvador
 Afghanistan, meditation
 Old Chinese flu
 Kick junk. What else can a poor worker do?
