WE THREW OUR VEG AND THE c___NEYS KEPT COMING
AIN'T SO MANY AS THERE WAS A WHILE AGO
LESS LOOSE WITH A POTATO
THEN THEY STARTED RUNNING
FROM LEA BRIDGE ROAD TO HOE STREET
TO THE HEART OF WALTHAMSTOW

COPY-CAT, COPY-CAT VEGETABLE ATTACK
COPY-CAT, COPY-CAT VEGETABLE ATTACK
COPY-CAT, COPY-CAT VEGETABLE ATTACK
VEGETABLE ATTACK, WE FIGHT BACK

I CAN'T BELIEVE IT WAS ON THE RADIO
I START TO WONDER IF IT WAS EVEN TRUE
IN '89 E11 WAS NOT THE PLACE TO GO
COS THE VEGETABLE GANGS
WERE OUT TO GET YOU
IT WEREN'T LIKE LIVING IN LA
ALL THE FEAR AND GANGS THEY SAY
BUT ON THE STREETS
WE HAD TO WATCH OUR BACKS
FOR A VEGETABLE KILLER
ON THE ATTACK

ONE MAN IN COMA
POTATO ON HIS HEAD
ANOTHER GETS A TURNIP, NOW HE'S DEAD
THAT CAT WOMAN CRIES, POLICE AIN'T GOT A CLUE
EARLY IN THE MORNING, THE NEXT ONE COULD BE YOU

THERE WEREN'T MUCH CHANCE OF GETTING SHOT OR MUGGED OR DONE
IN FACT ONLY THE COPS EVER MADE ME FEEL UNSAFE
TIL THE VEGETABLE KILLERS TOOK OVER THE PLACE
THOSE WERE THE DAYS WE WERE RUNNING SCARED
HIT THE STREETS WE HAD TO BE PREPARED
THE FEAR OF EAST LONDON WEREN'T RONNIE AND REG
IT WAS MARKET TRADERS CHUCKING VEG

WALKING THE STREETS, LIVING IN FEAR, WATCHING FOR MARKET MEN COMING NEAR
WHEN WE HEARD THE RUMBLE OF A DISTANT VAN
DOWN THE f___ING ROAD WE RAN
RUN DOWN THE ROAD, RUNNING FAST,
HOW LONG COULD WE STAY, HOW LONG COULD WE LAST?
THE ONLY WAY TO AVOID ENDING UP DEAD
EARLY IN THE MORNING? STAY IN BED

IT'S 1997 AND THE E NUMBER'S ONE
THE VEGETABLE KILLERS ARE 8 YEARS GONE
THOUGH POSITIVE ACTION AND WORKING WITH THE YOUTH
THE VEGETABLE KILLERS DECLARED THEIR TRUCE
NOW IT'S A JOKE FOR A RADIO SHOW
IS IT TRUE OR FALSE
WELL DO THEY KNOW?
SITTING HERE I KNOW THE FACTS
IT'S A COPY-CAT COPY-CAT VEGETABLE ATTACK
