Living With Unemployment Lyrics by The Oppressed

Music for Hooligans

0

I was living in a new town
I had problems with my girlfriend
So I moved on up to London town
Where they say it was all happening, going down
Living in a bedsit
Bunking on the tube train
Sleeping all day long
'Cause you've got no work
You've got no life
You sit at home
And watch television
Living with unemployment
I... I ain't got a job
And... there's no work in the city
They... they always try to blame it on the blacks
When it's really those in power who stab you in the back
Living in a bedsit
Bunking on the tube train
Sleeping all day long
'Cause you've got no work
You've got no life
You sit at home
And watch television
Living with unemployment
Round our way
We ain't got a lot
Another five years on the dole
I know I'll be left to rot
But now I'll join the army
Believe it or not
I'm going to a foreign land
I'm gonna get shot
Living in a bedsit
Bunking on the tube train
Sleeping all day long
'Cause you've got no work
You've got no life
You sit at home
And watch television
Living with unemployment
Oh it gets so lonely
Living with unemployment
It gets so frustrating
Living with unemployment
Oh it gets so lonely
Living with unemployment
It gets so frustrating
And it's lonely for them
Lonely for me
Lonely for all of us
Can't you see
That it's lonely for them
Lonely for me
Lonely for all of us
Can't you see
When you're not at work
They treat you like dirt
When you're out of work
They treat you like dirt
When you're not at work
They treat you like dirt
When you're out of work
They treat you like dirt
Treat you treat you treat you like dirt
Treat you treat you treat you like dirt
Treat you treat you treat you like dirt
When you're not at work
Living with unemployment
Oh it gets so lonely
Living with unemployment
It gets so frustrating
Living with unemployment
Oh it gets so lonely
Living with unemployment
It gets so frustrating
Living with unemployment
Living with unemployment
Living with unemployment
Living with unemployment
