To Have and to Have Not |
Up in the morning and out to school |
Mother says there’ll be no work next year |
Qualifications once the Golden Rule |
Are now just pieces of paper |
Just because you’re better than me |
Doesn’t mean I’m lazy |
Just because you’re going forwards |
Doesn’t mean I’m going backwards |
If you look the part you’ll get the job |
In last year’s trousers and your old school shoes |
The truth is son, it’s a buyer’s market |
They can afford to pick and choose |
Just because you’re better than me |
Doesn’t mean I’m lazy |
Just because I dress like this |
Doesn’t mean I’m a communist |
The factories are closing and the army’s full — |
I don’t know what I’m going to do |
But I’ve come to see in the Land of the Free |
There’s only a future for the Chosen Few |
Just because you’re better than me |
Doesn’t mean I’m lazy |
Just because you’re going forwards |
Doesn’t mean I’m going backwards |
At twenty one you’re on top of the scrapheap |
At sixteen you were top of the class |
All they taught you at school |
Was how to be a good worker |
The system has failed you, don’t fail yourself |
Just because you’re better than me |
Doesn’t mean I’m lazy |
Just because you’re going forwards |
Doesn’t mean I’m going backwards |
