Playing The Race Card

All I got is an apartment
On the first floor in my block of flats
All I want is a second storey
Victorian on the street down by the beach
But I fucking never wanna work for it,
I just wanna go squat or inherit it
Fuck work, fuck this,
Fuck you and your job
That's how I wanna be
Instead I conform to society
Another shitty employee
All I got is a guitar and
A big nose on my half-cast face
So I get money from the government,
And it's the race card I'm gonna fucking play
But I never wanna fill another dole form,
I just wanna exploit the racist government
Fuck work, fuck this,
Fuck you and your job
That's how I wanna be
Instead I conform to society,
Another shitty employee
(Well, woe is me)
Sometimes I think I should play it safe,
But I don't even have to pay when I go to tafe
All I got is an apartment
On the first floor in my block of flats
All I want is a second storey
Victorian on the street down by the beach
