i don't like the way i'm living no one gives me any choice you don't like the way i'm singing but all i got is my fucking voice i can't get a word in edgeways surrounded by so many lies they just treat us like subhumans we're the people they despise chorus: i'm telling you it's gonna get worse... always rising unemployment always debates on nuclear war do you think that any government gives a shit what we stand for? sometimes you wonder what to do when you haven't got no cash better start thinking what you'll do when your country turns to ash (chorus) you can blame the fucking tories every government's the same they don't believe in the public good just in their financial gain then the bastards throw you out and take your furniture away cos you can't afford the rent unemployment doesn't pay (chorus)
