Lyrics

Fuck the politically minded, here's something I want to say
About the state of nation, the way it treats us today
At school they give you shit, drop you in the pit
You try, you try, you try to get out, but you can't because they've fucked you about
Then you're a prime example of how they must not be
This is just a sample of what they've done to you and me

Do they owe us a living?
Of course they do, of course they do
Owe us a living?
Of course they do, of course they do
Owe us a living?
Of course they fucking do

Don't want me anymore, cos I threw it on the floor
Used to call me sweet thing, I'm nobody's plaything
And now that I am different, 'd love to bust my head
You'd love to see me cop-out, 'd love to see me dead

Do they owe us a living?
Of course they do, of course they do
Owe us a living?
Of course they do, of course they do
Owe us a living?
Of course they fucking do

The living that is owed to me I'm never going to get
They've buggered this old world up, up to their necks in dept
They'd give you a lobotomy for something you ain't done
They'll make you an epitomy of everything that's wrong

Do they owe us a living?
Of course they do, of course they do
Owe us a living?
Of course they do, of course they do
Owe us a living?
Of course they fucking do

Don't take any notice of what the public think
They're so hyped up with t.v., they just don't want to think
They'll use you as a target for demands and for advice
When you don't want to hear it they'll say you're full of vice

Do they owe us a living?
Of course they do, of course they do
Owe us a living?
Of course they do, of course they do
Owe us a living?
Of course they fucking do
