They only want it when it's thereSo here I come to save the day
The future's here and the past is yesterday
(They say)

We're not goin' on a holiday
We do a lot of work but we don't get paid
Stand up, don't walk away
Take your pride and swallow, swallow
Take your pride and swallow, swallowLife's full of much unwanted waste
Crime pays and the junkies walk away

We do a lot of work but we don't get paid
Stand up, don't walk away
Take your pride and swallow, swallow
Take your pride and swallow, swallowWe're not goin' on a holiday
We do a lot of work but we don't get paid
Stand up, don't walk away
Take your pride and swallow, swallow
