But the gang don't care for fool
shooting caps

Better keep up with the tempo,
with a clique

An d now that he's rolling with these

A
F#m
All he worships now is an idealism
Wise men will tell you with

religion unless you have faith
C#m
So it makes no difference to the youths
C#
that are raised in the system
C#m
You don't have age on the side
Or any positive role models in their
C#
C#m
lives that provide insight
So they ain't going to listen
As for Jake,
he's already made his decision
C#
C#m
And now he's just another poster boy
for David Cameron's Broken Britain
