The Jam - 'a' Bomb In Wardour Street

Where the streets are paved with blood
With cataclysmic overtones
Fear and hate linger in the air
A strictly no-go deadly zone
I don't know what I'm doing here
Cause it's not my scene at all

There's an 'A' bomb in Wardour Street
They've called in the Army, they've called in the police too

I'm stranded on the vortex floor
My head's been kicked in and blood's started to pour
Through the haze I can see my girl
Fifteen geezers got her pinned to the door
I try to reach her but fall back to the floor
'A' bomb in Wardour Street
It's blown up the west end, now it's spreading through the city There's an 'A' bomb in Wardour Street, it's blown up the City
Now it's spreading through the country

Law and order takes a turn for the worst
In the shape of a size 10 boot
Rape and murder throughout the land
And they tell me that you're still a free man
Well if this is freedom I don't understand
Cause it seems like madness to me

'A' bomb in Wardour Street
Hate Bomb, Hate Bomb, Hate Bomb, Hate Bomb!

A Philistine nation, of degradation
And hate and war. There must be more
It's Doctor Martin's A-P-O-C-A-L-Y-P-S-E
Apocalypse!
