Push This?

[Intro]
Railton Road
Railton Road
Railton Road
Railton Road
Huh!
[Pre-Chorus]
Them a-fightin' and a-shootin' on Railton Road
Them a-kickin' and a-punchin' on Railton Road
Rubber bullets and their truncheons and their riot shields
Take a switchblade or a handgun to protect themselves
[Chorus]
They'll say that the riots in Brixton
Were fueled by racialism
But the truth of the matter is boredom
With society
With society
With society
With society
Ha-huh!
[Verse 1]
Got the whole of the army and the police force too
And they're comin' on strong, down electric avenue
The youth of a-London is a-runnin' there too
With no money in their pocket and a hole in their shoe
[Pre-Chorus]
Them a-fightin' and a-shootin' on Railton Road
Them a-kickin' and a-punchin' on Railton Road
Rubber bullets and their truncheons and their riot shields
Take a switchblade or a handgun to protect themselves
[Chorus]
They'll say that the riots in Brixton
Were fueled by racialism
But the truth of the matter is boredom
With society
Oh, with society
With society
With society
Ha-huh!
[Verse 2]
They were promised such a livin' and a decent wage
If they moved from Jamaica to the London scene
Now the children of the immigrants have come of age
Well the livin' they were promised, it has never been seen
[Bridge]
On Railton Road
On Railton Road
On Railton Road
On Railton Road
[Interlude]
Saxophone, huh!
[Saxophone Solo]
[Outro]
Railton Road
Railton Road
Railton Road
Railton Road
Railton Road
Railton Road
Railton Road
Railton Road
(Railton Road)
(Railton Road)
(Railton Road)
(Railton Road)
