[Verse 1]
Em D
I don't know how it started, but it began around eleven
G B7
It was worse than the Red Nose Day riots of 1997
Em D
Mr Herringbone could not have known the horrors he'd unleash
G B7
When he declared a no-school-uniform day for local charities
[Verse 2]
Em D
Now the deputy headmaster is with Mr Herringbone
G B7
At the window of the staffroom shouting through a megaphone
Em D
He says get back to your lessons now, as the building is attacked
G B7
Then from the window of the staffroom he read the mufty riot act
[Verse 3]
Em D
To all the kids dressed in their Adidas, their Reebok and their Nike
G B7
And the boy whose Vans were second-hand, all the others called him pikey
Em D
The caretaker appealed for calm, the librarian for quiet
G B7
But nobody knew how to stop the mufty day riots
[Instrumental]
Em D G B
[Chorus]
Am G B7 Em
And black and white, and straight and gay
Am G B7
Would all unite on mufty day
[Verse 4]
Em D
The food fight in the dinner hall was a forty-minute gunge-fest
G B7
There was chocolate pudding on the walls, it was like a dirty protest
Em D
From the H-blocks, Mr Burton said, from the 1970s
G B7
In the midst of all this madness he was still teaching History
[Verse 5]
Em D
To the Dolce & Gabbana, to the Burberry and to those
G B7
In the Marilyn Manson T-shirts and the long black leather coats
Em D
There was anarchy and chaos, there was looting, there were fires
G B7
And still no-one knew how to stop the mufty day riots
[Chorus]
Am G B7 Em
And black and white, and straight and gay
Am G B7
Would all unite on mufty day
Am G B7 Em
And words and deeds are noble but
Am G B7
Sometimes you need to smash things up
[Solo]
Em D G B7
Em D G B7
Em D G B7
Em D G B7
[Verse 6]
Em D
The riots spread from the dinner hall across the football field
G B7
The PE teacher stood there like a one-man human shield
Em D
He stood there with his outstretched hands as the goalposts were uprooted
G B7
He couldn't understand why anyone could be so stupid
[Verse 7]
Em D
The PTA would later blame designer label envy
G B7
And the lack of some religion in the school's assembly
Em D
If the kids believed in something more than coats and mobile phones
G B7
Then they wouldn't be on the roof of the Art Department throwing stones
[Verse 8]
Em D
They were armed and they were dangerous, and some of them were drunk
G B7
A group of tabloid journalists was telling them to jump
Em D
They were just about to build a bonfire for the teachers on the top
G B7
And then as quickly as the riot started, suddenly it stopped
[Chorus]
Am G B7 Em
And black and white, and straight and gay
Am G B7 Em
Would all unite on mufty day
Am G B7 Em
And words and deeds are noble but
Am G B7 Em
Sometimes you need to smash things up
[Outro]
