Do They Owe Us a Living? Songtext
von Crass

Fuck the politically minded
Here's something I want to say
About the state of nation
The way they treat us today
At school they give you shit
Drop you in the pit
You try and try and try to get out
But you can't
Because they've fucked you about
Then you're a prime example
Of how they must not be
This is just a sample
Of what they've done to you and me

[Chorus:]
Do they owe us a living?
Of course they do!
Of course they do!


Do they owe us a living?
Of course they do!
Of course they do!

Do they owe us a living?
OF COURSE THEY FUCKING DO!

They don't want me anymore
Cause I threw it on the floor
They used to call me sweet thing
But I'm nobody's plaything
And now that I am different
They'd love to bust my head
They'd love to see me cop-out
They'd love to see me dead

[Chorus]

The living that is owed to me
I'm never going to get
They've buggered this old world
Up to their necks in debt
They'd give you a lobotomy
For something you ain't done
They'll make you an epitomy
Of everything that's wrong


[Chorus]

Don't take any notice
What the public think
They're so hyped up with T.V.
They just don't want to think
They'll use you as a target
For demands and for advice
And if you don't want to wear it
They'll say you're full of vice

[Chorus]
