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 to

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

15 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 throughout the City

'A' bomb in Wardour Street, it's blown up the City

Now it's spreading through the country

Law and order take a turn for the worst

In the shape of a size 10 boot

Rape and murder throughout the land

And they tell you that you're still a free man

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 Phillistine nation, of degredation

And hate and war. There must be more

It's Doctor Martin's A, P, O, C, A, L, Y, P, S, E
