|
I was living in a newtown |
|
I had problems with my parents |
|
So I moved on up to London town |
|
Where they said that things were happening, going down |
|
Chorus: |
|
Living in a bedsit |
|
Bunking the tube trains |
|
Sleeping all day long |
|
And you know no one, cos you don't go out, |
|
Cos you've got no work |
|
You just watch television |
|
Living with unemployment I, I ain't got a job And, there's no work in the city |
|
They, they always try to blame it on the blacks |
|
But it's really those in power that stab you in the back |
|
Chorus |
|
'round our way, we ain't got a lot |
|
And after two years on the dole, I felt I'd been left to rot |
|
But now I've joined the Army and, believe it or not |
|
I'm going to Northern Ireland and, I'm going to get shot! |
|
Chorus |
|
Living with unemployment Oh you get so lonely |
|
Living with unemployment |
|
It gets so frustrating |
|
Living with unemployment |
|
And the Neurotics wanna tell you, what it's like to be |
|
Unemployed, out of work, unemployed, out of work (repeat) |
|
"Try to stay, out of trouble dear..." |
|
It's lonely for you |
|
And it's lonely for me |
|
It's lonely for all of us - can't you see? |
|
Chorus |
|
Living with unemployment |
|
Oh you get so lonely |
|
Living with unemployment |
|
It gets so frustrating |
|
Living with unemployment - living without |
|
When you're out of work |
|
They treat you like dirt |
|
When you're out of work |
|
They treat you like dirt |
|
It's all part of the plan (8) |
|
We are the scroungers (4) |
|
Living with unemployment |
