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.

Fuck 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 and 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

chorus:

do they owe us a living? course they do, course they do

owe us a living? course they do, course they do

owe us a living? course they fucking do!

they don't want me anymore

cos i threw it on the floor

used to call me sweet thing

but i'm nobody's plaything

now that i am different

you'd love to bust my head

you'd love to see me cop-out

love to see me dead

chorus

the living that is owed to me

i'm never going to get

buggered this old world up

up to their necks in debt

they'll give you a lobotomy

for something you ain't done

they'll made you an epitome

of everything that's wrong

chorus

don't take any notice

what the public think

they're so hyped up with t.v.

just don't want to think

use you as a target

for demands and advice

when you don't want to hear it

say you're full of vice

chorus
