Feral kids know where you live,
And they know you live alone,
Feral kids bang dustbin lids,
In the streets outside your home,
Everyone tries to hide away,
When they come out to play.
Feral kids do wheelie skids,
In the streets outside your window,
Breaking glass and setting fire to cars,
In the streets outside your window,
Everyone tries to hide away,
When they come out to play.
Feral kids in CC vids,
Throwing stones at local shoppers,
And though they do their best,
They're immune from arrest,
At the hands of the local coppers,
Everyone tries to hide away,
When they come out to play.
Youth workers and the Church have tried,
Tried so hard to reach them,
The schools all say their hands are tied,
Because no one wants to teach them,
Everyone tries to hide away,
When they come out to play.\
