Runnin' Riot - Johnny Reggae lyrics

You use to see him down in Leicester Square Mixed up suit he had filthy hair Played harmonica in Limbo for his tea and fare Drank too much but I could not care Johnny Reggae could not see Johnny Reggae could not see Johnny Reggae could not see Never stopped him smiling at me He wore a badge from the Paradise Isle Grinned a lot he had a toothless smile Broke no laws appeared on no files Spent his nights upon the pavement tiles Johnny Reggae could not see Johnny Reggae could not see Johnny Reggae could not see Never stopped him smiling at me Said it started with some rookie police Lucky right hand knocked him down to his feet Dragged him legless to the soundproof cell No one but the dead could hear his yell Gave him what they gave to troublesome n******gs Hope some night when there's me and thee Behind those ba*tards in a blind alley Black of night their eyes won't see Who dealt a dose of brutality Johnny Reggae could not see Johnny Reggae could not see Johnny Reggae could not see Never stopped their brutality
