artists:crass
album:best before
tabbed by:samuel barker
verse 1:
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
chorus:
do they owe us a living? of course they do! of course they do!
do they owe us a living? of course they do! of course they do!
do they owe us a living? OF COURSE THEY ING 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
