lyrics

If the children need new toys for them to play
They're going to just have to wait
Because nobody's going to go out of their way
To help you when the rent is late
A wife drinks in her room
She pushes a dustbroom
Then she bakes a cake
The husband's always out
We'll have to go without
Cos there's nothing left on the plate

If you've given all you ever had
Just to find yourself where you are
Just to earn that chip on your shoulder
That you wear like a battle scar
You've a modest house
You'd move somewhere else
If it weren't for the payments on the car
But the man from the bank
But it in his contract
To stop your from getting that far

Your mother always told you you should live for today
If you don't claim your share they're gonna take it away
It's better not to question you were born to obey

You must be aware that there's a debt you must pay
If you don't observe the rules they're gonna put you away
Don't worry son you must not be afraid
