State Vs Jeeves |
You’re on benefits |
We’re all providing for you |
From the streets that we sweep, to the lights whilst you sleep |
Is there anything else we can do? |
You’re on welfare |
And welfare is part of your life |
It’s the abuse we forget, to the tax breaks you get |
For yourself, your children and wife |
And one thing you know from your head to your toe |
The confusion that this life achieves |
Get yourself mad, don’t get even |
'Cause it’s always been State vs. Jeeves |
You’re in poverty |
Poverty is more than a wage |
It’s the team you support, it’s the records you bought |
It’s the news that you read on your page |
We’re all claimants |
Claiming a place on this earth |
From the park you were pushed, to the midwife who hushed |
The scream on the day of your birth |
We’re on scratch cards |
Scratching like chickens through dust |
Pecking our way through the shit and the hay |
And the feeling it’s this life or bust |
It’s that hoodie you wear and that look of despair |
As the chambermaid catches the thieves |
It’s that hate of the state when you’re having your plate |
Polished and refilled by Jeeves |
Oh, state vs. Jeeves |
State vs. Jeeves |
Oh, state vs. Jeeves… |
One thing you know |
Head to your toes |
State vs. Jeeves… |
Ooh, ooh, oh… |
