Lyrics for Fat Children

Last night I had a little altercation They wobbled menacingly Beneath the yellow street light it became a situation Well, they wanted my brand-new phone with all the pictures of the kids and the wife A struggle ensued and then fat children took my life Fat children took my life Fat children took my life Fat children took my life Well, some passers-by took me to the station The police force was elsewhere, Putting bullets in some guy's head for no particular reason So I died in the back of the cab But I'll be back to haunt them This thing does not end here My spirit walks the streets of Tottenham Singing: Fat children took my life Fat children took my life Fat children took my life Oh, the parents are the problem Giving birth to maggots without the sense to become flies So pander to your pampered little princess Of such enormous size
