Flowerpot Men - A Man Without A Woman lyrics

rate me

With assorted refugees from DSS, B and B's<br />

At the school gate they sell crack<br />

Here they ssteal her thunder, crucify her wonder<br />

Can she get out alive and grovel geatfuly<br />

On the eternal 9 to 5<br />

A living wage is all that we demand<br />

From a government sworn to uphold that cause<br />

Not betrayl of precious right, bought with presious lives<br />

In the course of two World Wars<br />

Now Sally is sixteen sits in history class<br />

Reading what Churchill said<br />

About a living wage for all the poorly paid<br />

The basis of our welfare state<br />

But her freind Sue left school last year<br />

For a job in a shoe shoe shop<br />

Now she's back home,, signing on the dole<br />

The pay weren't worth a crap<br />

In the ivory tower high on the hill<br />

Far fro the street and trash<br />

Sit the privlaged few, our future rulers<br />

Learning bought with cash<br />

In the afternoon doom of her classroom<br />

Sally's waiting for the bell<br />

She carves a desperate plea on her desktop<br />

Get me out of this frigging hell<br />

Chorus and repeat<br />

Not betrayal of precious rights, bought with precious lives<br />

In the course of 2 world wars
