The Labyrinth
Em                          C
Housing estates and kids without purpose,

Time to establish a route for their energy

Something that’s better than kicking a ball.

Bins overflowing, and windows still broken
Em                         C
who wants to live in this labyrinth
  C                                D
to find the way out they need education
      C                                             Em

A young man lies bleeding, stabbed by his playmates

Maybe its just me, but I don’t think so,
D                                Em
that things were better when I was young

and bugger them senseless each day till you come!!!!
