lyrics

Laid off, called off, fucked off coz’ we can’t find no work around
Shut down, bankrupt, local shops can’t compete big ones
Local business put there tools down, selling their plans to the far east now,
They want the money we want the jobs, while the government walks, walks, walks, walks all over us!

Nothing’s going in, no works coming out! WahhhhoooooWahhhhooooo
Production line has stopped, the companies selling out! WahhhhoooooWahhhhooooo

I shoplift! I sell drugs!
Anything that will get me some money and...
I don’t want, to suck up to some greedy manager that pays minimum wage,
Extreme paper round just to pay for beer and money for my petrol because it’s shit ‘round here
Cruising in my bonus costs a few bob, it’s given me incentive to find a decent job...

(RAP PART BELOW)
I’m on a low budget because I have to save
So I have given up all my expensive tastes
Champagne and cake there defiantly no’s
I’m stuck eating... beans and potatoes!
I’ve swapped the cider, for Asdas home brand
And I’m bin diving, more and more now
My shoes don’t fit, so I’ll wait till the sale
Still every penny, I watch where it goes
Its now, discount stores and cheap little cafes
Deserts and tips are thing of the past
I’m dropping my standards so I can get more
Quantity over quality is what I go for
My two CV don’t run without fuel
So I got myself a bicycle,
I’ll ride here and there and save a bit of money to splash,
Still I’m on a low budget and I’m short for cash...

Nothing’s going in, no works coming out! WahhhhoooooWahhhhooooo
Production line has stopped, the companies selling out! WahhhhoooooWahhhhooooo
Nothing’s going in, no works coming out! WahhhhoooooWahhhhooooo
Production line has stopped, the companies selling out! WahhhhoooooWahhhhooooo
