Song information On this page you can read the lyrics of the song State Vs Jeeves , by - Paul Heaton. Song from the album Wisdom, Laughter And Lines, in the genre ПопState 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… |
