We were sent away from our jobs today
We walk out with our heads held high
We don’t care about the who what when or why
We just care about making next week's rent
And were standing in the dole line being turned away
being told to try again another day
So the government has screwed us over again
Always looking after number one instead
We wont make the same mistakes again
The country's gone to hell again
The youths are wrecking up the streets again
and they’ll go to jail for stealing a handful of penny sweets
and there ain’t nothing we can do about it
And were standing in the dole line being turned away
being told to try again another day
So the government has screwed us over again
Always looking after number one instead
We got some new jobs today
We walked out with our heads held high
we did not care about the who what when or why
We know were gonna make next week's rent
