Snap back Jack, attack 'tack Jack
Snap back Jack, attack these images of London
These illusions, images of London

Montague St. Bloomsbury parked a white Rolls Royce
Those that own it are inside makin' a choice
Which portion of our cake they wish to partake
What our money's worth on their exchange rate
What home we own when we have to vacate
They dictate where we relocate

Snap back Jack, attack 'tack Jack
Snap back Jack, attack these images of London
These illusions, images of London

Drivin' up the Thames through the deserted docks
The boarded up doors with chains are padlocked
Homeless on the streets live in a cardboard box
Fifty "P's" your fee, your destiny, you're free
To live in poverty, in a democracy, under a monarchy

Black stretched limo with a man in a cap
Drivin' through the beggars, pack of rats in the back
Nursin' corgi's that keep crappin' in your lap

Snap back Jack, attack 'tack Jack
Snap back Jack, attack these images of London
These illusions, images of London

Cuttin' loose from this unreal fiction
Headin' for reality on the streets of Brixton
And the parliamentary power 'neath Big Ben clock
See it from cardboard city, if you own a cardboard box

Snap back Jack, attack 'tack Jack
Snap back Jack, attack these images of London
These illusions, images of London

Questions of proprietary, questions of blame
Guilt and shame's the same preached in Jesus' name
No one should be made to feel they're born to lose
Our detonator's primed we just light the fuse

Snap back Jack, attack 'tack Jack
Snap back Jack, attack these images of London
These illusions, images of London

Images of London
Images of London
