So he was open to manipulation
Gm
He had to un dergo initiation

And when some older boys
saw the situation
Gm
Dm
They took the piss; now look at this
Bb
Gm
Little youth beating up his only friend
The only one that weren't pretend
And even gave him the
C
money for the pen
D
From mice to men and then to rats
Gm
But only a snake behaves like that
Dm
But the gang don't care for fool
shooting caps
They're just happy that you
fall for the trap

Doing illegal shit,

Bb
Still he's in luck today,

In some stupid bitch,

Better keep up with the tempo,
with a clique

C
vexed up thugs
Gm
So what's next up bruv?
Dm
Cause he's gonna make
Bb
it his only mission
Gm
To better his position
C
In this little gang it's a competition
To the little man with a disposition
Gm
Holier than thou,
Dm
C
he was born a Christian
Bb
Gm
All he worships now is an idealism
Wise men will tell you with
age comes wisdom
C
And you can't be saved by
Gm
religion unless you have faith
Dm
So it makes no difference to the youths
D
that are raised in the system
Dm
You don't have age on the side
Or any positive role models in their
D
Dm
lives that provide insight
So they ain't going to listen
As for Jake,
he's already made his decision
D
Dm
And now he's just another poster boy
for David Cameron's Broken Britain
