Do They Owe Us a Living? (Soho recording) Songtext
(Alright, if it′s done as entertainment
Take it as entertainment, so please
Don't take it any other way)
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
Do they owe us a living?
Of course they do!
Of course they do!
Owe us a living?
Of course they do!
Of course they do!
Owe us a living?
Of course they fucking do!
They don't want me anymore
I threw it on the floor
Used to call me sweet thing
I′m nobody's plaything
Now that I am different
They′d love to bust my head
They'd love to see me cop-out
Love to see me dead
Do they owe us a living?
Of course they do!
Of course they do!
Owe us a living?
Of course they do!
Of course they do!
Owe us a living?
Of course they fucking do!
Living that is owed to me
I′m never going to get
They've buggered this old world up
Up to their necks in debt
They'd give you a lobotomy
For something you ain′t done
Make you an epitomy
Of everything that′s wrong
Do they owe us a living?
Of course they do!
Of course they do!
Owe us a living?
Of course they do!
Of course they do!
Owe us a living?
Of course they fucking do!
Don't take any notice
What the public think
They′re so hyped up with TV
They just don't want to think
They′ll use you as a target
For demands and advice
And if you don't want to wear it
They′ll say you're full of vice
Do they owe us a living?
Of course they do!
Of course they do!
Owe us a living?
Of course they do!
Of course they do!
Owe us a living?
Of course they fucking do!
Take it as entertainment, so please
Don't take it any other way)
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

This is just a sample
Of what they′ve done to you and me
Do they owe us a living?
Of course they do!
Of course they do!
Owe us a living?
Of course they do!
Of course they do!
Owe us a living?
Of course they fucking do!
They don't want me anymore

Of course they do!
Of course they do!
Owe us a living?
Of course they fucking do!
