Benefit Scrounger (Working Class Hero)
I've re-written the lyrics of 'Working Class Hero' in this. Play along if you've got a guitar, it works better that way.
As soon as you're born they made you feel small
they gave you a little but you wanted it all
and you were prepared to do nothing at all
A benefit scrounger is something to be
A benefit scrounger is something to be
They enrolled you in school but you chose not to go
now your writing is awful and your I.Q is low
so they left you to rot in the gutter below
A benefit scrounger is something to be
A benefit scrounger is something to be
Now you've told the job centre again and again
that your leg is half broken and you're in constant pain
but you twisted your ankle when you stepped off a train
A benefit scrounger is something to be
A benefit scrounger is something to be
You sit in your living room watching t.v
bitching and moaning to people like me
'cause you couldn't find work without a degree
A benefit scrounger is something to be
A benefit scrounger is something to be
You spend all your money on a cheap little thrill
can't even be bothered to work on a till
'cause you're so fucking lazy that you make yourself ill
A benefit scrounger is something to be
A benefit scrounger is something to be
You're a slave to the dole queue and you'll never be free
You're a slave to the dole queue and you'll never be free
