we don't ask for a lot but we get even less

dirty child playing in a rubbish dump dress

rich in heart but poor in practice

always last in your perfect rat race

always last in your perfect rat race

please kind sir spare a tuppence for me

homeland wasteland desecrated trashcans

disgust and hatred smile on your face

cos we're always last in your perfect rat race



sorry sights statutory rights

all go with the same old way of life

sticks and stones rags and bones

all the trouble and the strife



don't want to think about it

don't want to talk about it

no need to know about it

problem solved



don't want to think about it

don't want to talk about it

no need to know about it

problem solved

of people who ain't free to be free

of the tales of all the places that we've been
