Lyrics
Poor Bastard!
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You've seen the spastics on the bus
Who dribble down the glass
I wonder why we make them live
When nature lets them pass
(Poor bastards!)
Watching cripples on tv now my tears fall in my tea
Christians whining at my door bringing heartache from the poor
Starving lonely blind and black broken hearted sick and fat
You know I'm not overjoyed while the hangman's unemployed!
Poor bastard!
Retarded children should be slapped
The ugly too and the handi-capped
Sex aids benders to their knees - no such luck for amputees!
Don't reach for the razor, don't take it to heart
We had to be cruel to have a good laugh
(Sounds of coughing in damp basement)
(Spoilt, snot-nosed, hateful schoolboy brat - played by dave)
Mother, are there any more crusts?
(Horrible, whining upper class twat
Of the year, mother - played by the rev)
No! There are no more crusts!
