verse 1:

fuck the politically minded, here's something i want to say

about the state of the nation, the way it treats us today

At school they give you shit, drop you in the pit

you try and try to get out, but you can't because they've you about

Then you're the prime example of how they must not be

this is just a sample of what they've done to you and me

Db B Eii Eb

do they owe us a living? of course they do! of course they do!

Db B Eii Eb

do they owe us a living? of course they do! of course they do!

do they owe us a living? OF COURSE THEY FUCKING DO!

verse 2:

they don't want me anymore because i threw it on the floor

they used to call me sweet thing, but i'm nobody's plaything

and now that i'm different, they'd love to bust my heat

they'd love to see me cop out, they'd love to see me dead

repeat chorus

verse 3:

the living that is owed to me i'm going to get

they've buggered this old world up, up to their necks on debt

they'd give you a lobotomy for something you ain't done

they'll make you an epitomy of everything that's wrong.

repeat chorus

verse 4:

don't take any notice to what the public think,

they're so hyped up on tv, they just don't want to think

they'll use you for a target for demands and advice,

when you don't wanna hear it they'll say you're full of vice

repeat chorus

end
