You Haven't a Chance

You're walking down the street with all your pockets empty,
Hold on to money, you haven't a chance.
If you're carryin', some bugger rolled ya,
Try to make a bloody cry.

You're hanging on by the skin of your teeth
And I don't believe you've got a hope.
They're kicking the earth from under your feet,
Just pull yourself together and say, you haven't a chance.
Haven't a chance.

Out with the girlfriend, just a tiny quiet night
But you find a bonnie, you haven't a chance.
You'll get her pregnant, marry her or have to pay,
What's the bloody difference.

Try to get a job, you're lying through your back teeth,
He's fiddling with his tie, you haven't a chance.
He looks you up and down, treats you like a scumbag,
What's the bloody use of it.

Haven't a chance.
You haven't a chance.

On the job creation, treated like a schoolkid,
Planting bloody trees, you haven't a chance.
In the longer line, waiting for the handout,
With all the other animals, you haven't a chance.
Too many rats are running in the rat race,
Trying to kick you in the head, you haven't a chance.
They cut your legs off, arms off, feet gone,
Head gone, dole off, you haven't a chance.
Read the paper, get yourself a trade,
You'll have to join the army, you haven't a chance.
You'll go to Ireland and get bloody shot dead,
Not bloody likely.

You're walking down the street with all your pockets empty,
Hold on to money, you haven't a chance.
If you're carryin', some bugger rolled ya,
Try to make a bloody cry, you haven't a chance.
Out with the girlfriend, just a tiny quiet night,
But you find a bonnie, you haven't a chance.
You'll get her pregnant, marry her or have to pay,
What's the bloody difference, you haven't a chance.
Try to get a job, you're lying through your back teeth,
He's fiddling with his tie, you haven't a chance.
He looks you up and down, treats you like a scumbag,
What's the bloody use of it, you haven't a chance.
On the job creation, treated like a schoolkid,
Planting bloody trees, you haven't a chance.
In the longer line, waiting for the handout
With all the other animals, you haven't a chance.
Too many rats are running in the rat race
Trying to kick you in the head, you haven't a chance.
They cut your dole off.
