(originally recorded by the Specials)
Why must you record my phone calls
Are you planning a bootleg LP
You said you've been threatened by gangsters
Now it's you that's threatening me
Can't fight corruption with con tricks.
The youth, they love to commit crime
I dread, dread to think what the future will bring
When we're living in gangster times
Don't call me skaface...
Don't interrupt while I'm talking
Or they'll confiscate all your guitars
A catch-22 says if I sing a tune
They will make me an overnight star
Don't offer a single protection
The youth, they love to commit crime
I dread to think what the future will bring
When we're living in real gangster times
