lyrics
Friends on Benefits
I've got friends on benefits
but they're hidden away from view
In case it shows that our system's
catastrophic too
They earn your disdain
by staying in bed
and loafing around
for their daily bread
I've got friends on benefits
who would love a living wage
preparing them for poverty
at a pensionable age
They won't fight your wars
they won't sweep your streets
they're someone to blame
when history repeats
You can sacrifice your sanity
and escape the daily grind
for a pocket full of nightmares
in a welfare state of mind
I've got friends on benefits
you wouldn't like to meet
You label them degenerates
and keep them off the street
I've got friends on benefits
you wouldn't care to know
you label them degenerates
and go on with the show
I've got friends on benefits
it's never going to stop
until there are less degenerates
generating hatred from the top
