Family of Four

I could read my weight in sociological or historical postulates and they
wouldn’t care at all
Maybe my mistake was in expecting dignity;
Thinking that the welfare state would support someone like me
They said it’s all they can afford and I can’t argue
I missed my chance to
But I’ve got a family of four and no other means to go out and buy food
They said it’s all they can afford and I can’t argue
I missed my chance to
But I’ve got a family of four and no other means to go out and buy food
I know enough to know when someone’s looking down on me. Brainwashed by the
Tories are the staff at the DWP
Maybe my mistake was in expecting dignity;
Thinking that the welfare state would support someone like me
They said it’s all they can afford and I can’t argue
I missed my chance to
But I’ve got a family of four and no other means to go out and buy food
They said it’s all they can afford and I can’t argue
I missed my chance to
But I’ve got a family of four and no other means to go out and buy food
Oh well. I grew up powerless and I’ll die just the same
I’ll go from the afternoon to the nightshift all for someone else’s gain.
Bottom rung is where I’ll stay
