Lyrics
Junior gangsters
Playground jesters
In the heat of the night
Make up Monroes
Caged in heroes
In the heat of the night
In the cold daylight
We gotta tell the children
We gotta let them know
If we don't tell the children
There'll be no tomorrow
Classroom cabbages
Socialised savages
In the heat of the night
Government numbers
Bow Street Runners
In the heat of the night
In the cold daylight
Backstabbing angels
Criminal disciples
In the heat of the night
You're all as good as gold
Then they'd all better be told
In the heat of the night
In the cold daylight
Writer(s): Timothy Mosely, Chris Godbey, Trinity Home, James David Washington
