Five More Years

Ian Bramson / Paul Swain / Roi Pearce

Who wants to work when the cash aint there
Who wants to get up where theres no where to stay!!!
Who wants a job when theres nothing about,
You can stuff employment, thats what we say

Sleeping all day, sitting up all night
poncing fags thats all right
We're on the dole and we're proud of it
We're ready for 5 More Years

Don't want to know about the privileged few
Don't want to know what its costing the land
Don't want to join the job hunting queue
I just want to sit here and hold out my hand

Sleeping all day, sitting up all night
poncing fags thats all right
we're on the dole and we're proud of it
We're ready for 5 More Years

You can keep the politicians and what they do
You can keep your songs about the down and outs
You can praise the politicians if you knew
Theyre responsible for us down and outs

Cheers to the Government who cause redundancies
Cheers to the Unions who make men strike
Cheers to the men who bring the country to its knees
And cheers to us layabouts, the life we like

Sleeping all day, sitting up all night
poncing fags thats all right
We're on the dole and we're proud of it
We're ready for 5 More Years
