Breadline Lyrics by Warumpi Band

Big Name, No Blankets

0

[Verse 1]
He's like a sheepdog off the chain tonight
And the girl looks good standing in the streetlight
But there's no room for him in her mind
'Cause she can see he's on the breadline
Just a bit of lovin', come on home and make it true now
Just a bit of livin', bit more luck to push it through

[Verse 2]
He walks along now without a setback
He don't believe in any handicap
Fate to him is just a brat
He's gonna hit the big time in spite of that, alright
Just a bit of lovin', come on home and make it true now
Just a bit of livin', bit more luck to push it through

[Pre-Chorus]
Could you still cope with life
Without a home, a job, a wife?
Why don't you face the facts?
You can never be sure of any of that
Look out in your own backyard
There's people like that livin' under the stars

[Chorus]
We're all makin' it on the breadline
Drop your tools on the production line
Stick with us or you'll fall behind
'Cause we're all makin' it on the breadline

[Verse 3]
There he is again
He's yellin' his head off to his friends
He says, "There's never any credit given
When credit should be due"
Well, I've worked my guts out to see it's all shot through
And we're still all livin' on the breadline

[Verse 4]
Work it out, come on
Just a bit of wear and tear
Fish for mud crabs, dig for lizards
That's all it takes livin' on the breadline

[Pre-Chorus]
Could you still cope with life
Without a home, a job, a wife?
Why don't you face the facts?
You can never be sure of any of that
'Cause we're unloved, unrecognised
Looking rejection in the eye

[Chorus]
We're all makin' it on the breadline
Drop your tools on the production line
Stick with us or you'll fall behind
'Cause we're all makin' it on the breadline

[Bridge]
Ooh, ah, ooh, ah
Ooh, ah, ooh, ah

[Chorus]
We're all makin' it on the breadline
Drop your tools on the production line
Stick with us or you'll fall behind
'Cause we're all makin' it on the breadline
We're all makin' it on the breadline
We're all makin' it on the breadline
