Classy Lyrics by The Proclaimers

Angry Cyclist

2018

[Verse 1]
Culture traveled out from the rabble
And had a saddle placed on its back
While the [?] t'was ridden to death, dear
By the kind whose nerve never cracks

[Verse 2]
Guess the class [?] of the white Rasta
And I will buy your very next meal
Sausage supper says middle or upper
And when he speaks the winner's revealed

[Chorus]
That's how it is you see
It shouldn't have to be
This way that unearned wealth
Perpetuates itself

[Verse 3]
You're not fooling me private schooling
Claiming you are charity
Those you help most don't have the west coast
And the old distillery

[Chorus]
That's how it is you see
It shouldn't have to be
This way that unearned wealth
Perpetuates itself

[Verse 4]
Cross the Atlantic, it's just as frantic
Riches pleading poverty
When your daddy lends you a million
You can leave the land of the free

[Chorus]
That's how it is you see
It shouldn't have to be
This way that unearned wealth
Perpetuates itself

[Chorus]
That's how it is you see
It shouldn't have to be
This way that unearned wealth
Perpetuates itself
