lyrics

1234 someone's knocking at my door
5678 I've got no food on my plate
9,10 they're knocking again
11,12 I glance again at the empty shelves
13,14,15,16 there's no reason for existing

Don't got no job, don't got no skills so am I worthless
Rely on the dole to pay my bills, the shame ain't worth this
Ain't an existence, I am told to keep my head down
To take my money or get a job
To shut my gob you working class clown

You scummy handouts claimer, system drainer, trainer wearing chav
Shoulda listened more in school, shoulda played it by the rules, now a victim of this cruel fucking system here I stand

1234 landlords knocking at my door
5678 I've got nothing they can take
9,10 they're knocking again
11,12 deeper into my pockets I delve, watching the door, hoping for more, call up the bank, you know the score

Your neoliberal attitude is detrimental,
You want me to show gratitude, you're mental
What, you're better than me?
Writing me off cause of the shoes on my feet
Or the stud in my ear
But what you don't realise, what you don't know
If you were that "woke AF"
You'd challenge the status quo

A victim of my social class,
A meritocracy my arse
Chasing my tail got my head in a spin, where do the lies end, where do they begin

1234 I wont take this anymore
5678 lock the windows, close the gate
9,10 fight them off again and again
11,12 and again and again and again and again
