Whatareya

Whatareya?
You're a yob or you're a wanker -
Take your fucking choice;
So who is your favorite genius:
James Hird or James Joyce?
You ever seen a live performance?
Join the wanker club.
You thought I meant table top dancing?
You're a yobbo, bub.
What are ya? Yob or wanker?
Wankers once used mobile phones,
But now that's sorta changing;
And yobs once lived in cottage homes
Ain't social change amazing?
If a yob and wanker want a girl,
The wanker guy will get her -
Both are equally ugly,
But the wanker hides it better.
A wanker fights inequality,
And for people's rights;
A wanker fights class prejudice.
A yobbo just fights.
Yob or wanker - wanker or yob -
Pass me the brush to tar ya;
Make your choice then live your life:
Come on, pal: what are ya?
