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
