Family of Four Songtext
von Muncie Girls

I could read my weight in sociological or
Historical postulates and they wouldn′t care at all
Maybe my mistake was in expecting dignity
Thinking that the welfare state would support someone like me

They said it's all they can afford and I can′t argue
I missed my chance to
But I've got a family of four and
No other means to go out and buy food
They said it's all they can afford and I can′t argue
I missed my chance to
But I′ve got a family of four and
No other means to go out and buy food


I know enough to know when someone's looking down on
Me. Brainwashed by the Tories are the staff at the DWP
Maybe my mistake was in expecting dignity
Thinking that the welfare state would support someone like me

They said it′s all they can afford and I can't argue
I missed my chance to
But I′ve got a family of four and
No other means to go out and buy food
They said it's all they can afford and I can′t argue
I missed my chance to
But I've got a family of four and
No other means to go out and buy food

Oh well. I grew up powerless and I'll die just the same
I′ll go from the afternoon to the nightshift all
For someone else′s gain. Bottom rung is where I'll stay
