Do They Owe Us a Living? lyrics
by Jeffrey Lewis
One, two, three, four
Politics, election, here's something I want to say
About the state of the nation, the way they treat us today
At school, they give you sh*t, drop you in a pit
You try, you try, you try to get out, but you can't because they've f*cked you about
Then you're a prime example of how they must not be
This is just a sample, what they've done to you and me
Do they owe us a living?
(Course they do, course they do)
Owe us a living?
(Course they do, course they do)
Owe us a living?
(Course they f*cking do)
They don't want me anymore, 'cause threw it on the floor
Used to call me sweet thing, I'm nobody's plaything
And now that I am different, they'd love to bust my head
They'd love to see me cop-out, they'd love to see me dead
Do they owe us a living?
(Course they do, course they do)
Owe us a living?
(Course they do, course they do)
Owe us a living?
(Course they f*cking do)
But the living that is owed to me, I'm never going to get
They buggered this whole world up, up to their necks in debt
They give you a lobotomy for something you ain't done
They make you the epitome of everything that's wrong
Do they owe us a living?
(Course they do, course they do)
Owe us a living?
(Course they do, course they do)
Owe us a living?
(Course they f*cking do)
But they don't take any notice of what the public thinks
They're so hyped up on the TV, they just don't want to think
They'll use you as a target for demands and for advice
And when you don't want to hear it, say you're full of vice
Do they owe us a living?
(Course they do, course they do)
Owe us a living?
(Course they do, course they do)
Owe us a living?
(Course they f*cking do)
