Community Outcast

Devlin, community outcast

And this one's for all the characters

That have been forgotten at the present timeI represent for the jobless

That have been made redundant

That have got four kids

And don't know how to fund themEver since the wife and the husband

Both lost their jobs at the office in London

Now they feel financially trapped

Now are locked with the rats in a dingy old dungeonTake this young father of two

Signing on and the government

Says that his family are spongersHe's like, "Damn man

We ain't got a penny or a pound"

Let alone money for milk

And nappies and trainers and jumpersHe got taken off site 'cause it's cheaper

To pay Europeans to labor in numbers

How's he gonna take care of his younger'sI represent for the people

Let down by a nation

And left in the streets where it's evil

Little kids surrounded

By knives and heroin needlesI represent for the people

Let down by a nation

And left on the streets where it's evil

Community outcast, cold, tired and feebleI represent for the homeless

Let down by a nation

More interested in war and invasion

When children are sleeping at railway stationsNo home or money

They wish they could phone their mummy

To put a hot meal in their tummy

So at night when the temperature drops

I'm asking you remember what you gotThese kids go home to a cardboard box

They're the soul survivors

Warming their hands

With their flickering flame of their lighters

All their life they've been frightenedOn the streets with their head down

Knowing deep down inside

That they've really been let down

By a country that's crippled

And I thought mankind was supposed to be civilI represent for the people

Let down by a nation

And left in the streets where it's evil

Little kids surrounded

By knives and heroin needlesI represent for the people

Let down by a nation

And left on the streets where it's evil

Community outcast, cold, tired and feebleI represent single mums, all alone on their own

Tying to put food in the mouths of her two sons

And the fathers gone, there's no cash flow

Lack of incomeBut that's just the way it is

She counts fifteen needles

Pushing her pram on the way to the lift

And this is where Brown said

It's safe to live and raise kidsShe finds her way out of the block

With two kids in a pram

And a rip and a stain in her top

She goes to sign on

Just to maintain the little she's gotFor her kids sake

They'll never seen a decent life

But they can dream and they'll sleep tonight

They've been hung out and left to dry

The kids are in bed, mums left to cryI represent for the people

Let down by a nation

And left in the streets where it's evil

Little kids surrounded

By knives and heroin needlesI represent for the people

Let down by a nation

And left on the streets where it's evil

Community outcast, cold, tired and feebleI represent for the old folk that live alone

No family or kids at home

And all he wants is someone to speak to

But nobody thinks to phoneSits at home in the dark, no electric

Since his wife passed, he can't accept it

He feels isolated, neglected

And now his council flats infestedSo he goes to the shop for his papers

With his stick and he falls in the mud

The people around him all pulled him up

But to him that's just a reminderHe's old and he's weak with no one to love

I sees clouds up above

Another bad day in the diary

An old man one of many

Killed by society, strangled quietlyI represent for the people

Let down by a nation

And left in the streets where it's evil

Little kids surrounded

By knives and heroin needlesI represent for the people

Let down by a nation

And left on the streets where it's evil

Community outcast, cold, tired and feebleI represent for the people

Let down by a nation

And left in the streets where it's evil

Little kids surrounded

By knives and heroin needlesI represent for the people

Let down by a nation

And left on the streets where it's evil

Community outcast, cold, tired and feeble
