The Boys of '008
Yikes 
Providing this isn't a death threat its very good. Dunno about the Bulger thing, it happened ages ago and isn't that relevant. Have you got a tune for it or is it a parody and i'm being dumb?
Lulu.....you are good at this 
Sadly it all rings so very true 
It's pretty good. Is it a rap?
Hard hitting as hell! Bulger is distant but we all got it. Maybe replace with the guy who got kicked to death? But it would dilute a little.
Merci beaucoup for your comments.
There's no tune. I just imagine a sort of rhythmic rap beat.
It was writen about 5 minutes before I posted it, after I'd been reading about the man Roscoff mentions, the one who was kicked to death after he'd confronted a gang about damaging his wife's car.
He's referred to in the lines "Front us up, you’re f**kin' dead. We’ll river-dance your f**kin’ head". I used those words because they killed him by continually kicking his head 'like a football'
I don't think the Bulger reference works at all. The rest is fine, but that's from quite a few years ago, so hardly the kids of 0-0-8.
In fact, it weakens the whole piece as it shows that, contrary to what the press would have you believe, kids have been committing crimes for years. It's like sticking in a reference to Mary Bell.

I understand you, Barbs. The point I was trying to make is that the ultra-violent kids of 008 see themselves 'as one' with kids from the past who'd kill violently and horribly simply for the fun of it.
Yes, it's hard-hitting.
Great for something like "Not the 9 o'clock news".
