The only good chav is one swinging from a rope
Strung about his long skinny neck
Chocking the bastard to death slowly
Thus ending his petty little life once and for all
Doing us all a favour and stamping out crime
Ending the problem and consigning the chav to history
Those bastards do no good and are very selfish
Wearing their fake gold, tracksuits and Burberry
Walking with a swagger like they own the town
Blighting England with all types of crime
From shop lifting to murder they do it all
Smoking weed, popping a pill and drinking vodka
Then stealing a car and enjoying the police chase
It’s a shame cop choppers don’t have a cannon and missiles
Open season on the chav who are society’s menace
Only taking and never giving from all they meet
Pass the law and make the chav illegal
Then root them out and eradicate them all
Each one a bastard not fit to exist where law and order is king.
In living in my homeland over 60 years
so much has changed in all that time
what was acceptable is not now anymore
our grandparents would see it as a crime
Today's world doesn't seem to be like them
standards just don't exist at all
right is wrong changes to wrong to right
everybody seems all mixed up into the night
So many towns never as they were
nothing but signs for sale or to let
councillors and MPs don't seem to know
what to do or help those who're in debt
There's much violence upon our streets
the days of walking at night so safe
they are no more such is our present state
when will man learn to behave?
The dress code now is appalling
torn jeans, tracksuits all seem norm
simply no decency or standards at all
what a state! please, God, send a storm
In summing up modern man does his thing
not caring, except self-serving alone
but one day this world will be wrapped up
the Almighty will speak 'The End' all silent tone!
(Just some thoughts of my home country Scotland and the state it's in as the times of today compared with our grandparents time with the decline in morality and standards.)
Please ‘fix it’ for the victims of Jimmy Saville
He had unlimited access to Stoke Mandeville
and abused patients who were vulnerable and ill
It’s disgraceful he retains his ‘Sir’ title still
Jimmy Saville was a celebrity on the TV
Children wrote ‘Jim please fix it for me’
Innocent kids they would sit on his knee
For him to remain a ‘Sir’ is a great travesty
Running marathons for many a mile
Gold tracksuits were his chosen style
His fans would cheer and smile
Unaware he was a vile paedophile
Now full details of his abuse have arisen
He should have been locked away in prison
Retaining his knighthood needs urgent revision
I implore you to reverse your decision
