The Rioter’s Prayer

Our father,
Who art in prison,
Me mum don’t’ know his name,
Yer riots come,
It’s gonna be done
In Birmingham as it is in London .
Give us this day our welfare rent
And forgive us our looting,
As we’re happy to loot those who defend stuff against us,
Lead us not into employment,
But deliver us free housing,
For thine is the Reebok,
The Burberry & the Barcardi
Forever and ever
…innit.
