lyrics

And rain falls on pram roofs
As they queue at Stafford Prison Gates.
Lick spittle on tissue
And wash the dirt from a grubby face.
With 1 kid, 2 kids, 3 kids
More kids on the way.
1 kid, more kids
And their Social Workers to take them away.
Away, away
From their..

Young offenders.
Young male offenders.

Skinny roll-ups fill green Rizla.
Brush the ash from tattoo skin.
Can't tell you when it started
She's not quite sure where she should begin.
With 1 kid, 2 kids, 3 kids
Fourth kid on the way.
My kid, his kid
Well that's what she tells him anyway.
Today, today , anyway
He's her ..

Young offender.
Young male offender.
