Sticks & Stones

I took a little time from dreamin'
Caught the action on a London street
The brothers are bad
They beat up the Babylon

They really gave the pigs a beating
All the little kids were throwin' stones
And sticks and stones
Will break their bones

Fight for your rights
And stay out on the streets at night
Don't be fooled by other people's rules
Don't go to school
Don't go to school!

Well then they stole a record player
They always leave it in a tempting place
You just break the lock
Out the window, around the block

The two best juvenile delinquents
They don't take the crap the teachers say
But we'll run for the bus
If we get caught they'll kick the shit out of us

Right now we're winning
It's the beginning
We're running faster
They're runnin' after

We got to fight for our rights
And stay out on the streets at night
Don't be fooled by other people's rules
Don't go to school
Don't go to school!

They all went to a blues on friday
Jonnie's brother had the sound it's dub
But don't you go there
They smoke the weed and they're twistin' their hair
The fuzz were in the crypt on sunday
Tried to search the kids and plant their dope
But they've got some hopes
Oh yeah the fuzz got some hopes

Right now we're winning
It's the beginning
We're running faster, faster and faster

Fight for your rights
And stay out on the streets all night
Don't be fooled by other people's rules
Don't go to school
Don't go to school!

I took a little time from dreamin'
Caught the action on a London street
The brothers are bad
They beat up the Babylon

They really gave the pigs a beating
All the little kids were throwin' stones
And sticks and stones
Are gonna break their bones

It's time to fight for your rights
And stay out on the streets all night
Don't be fooled by other people's rules
Don't go to school, no, no!
Don't go to school!

Fight for your rights
And stay out on the streets all night
Don't be fooled by people's rules
Don't go to school, no, no!

Fight for your rights
And stay out on the streets all night
Don't be fooled by people's rules
Don't go to school
Don't go to school, no, no!

Don't be fooled by people's rules
Don't go to school
Don't go to school, no, no!
