Do as we do
As we say
Live as we have lived
You just need to work hard
We've seen the hard times
Held our heads high
Made up our own luck
That got us by
Nothing is different
Nothing is new
Stop blaming the world
The change is you
Society fits
We built it so
You have problems we
Don't want to know
All the help we had
We did not need
So we cut it out
To stop your greed
Do as we do
As we say
Live as we have lived
You just need to work hard
Put in the effort
Do not complain
Be assertive there's
So much to gain
You fail because
You're just no good
Or you didn't try
Not as we would
Don't try to blame us
Just look around
The people below
They drag you down
Don't try to fight or
Cry shout or sneer
We may take pity
On volunteers
Do as we do
As we say
Live as we have lived
You just need to work hard
Now having a job
Is dignity
That's how we pay now
You work for free
And if you refuse
Well you're refuse
We have carte blanche now
To you abuse
We would have done it
Not that we did
We wouldn't complain
Oh God forbid
We would have done it
Done it with glee
Licked any old boots
Ours are tasty
Do as we do
As we say
Live as we have lived
You just need to work hard
Work hard get on, don't
Scrounge on the dole
Ev'rything costs now
Except your souls
Do as we do
As we say
Live as we have lived
You just need to work hard

GIRLS ARE FINE

Girls are girls are girls are fine
They don't need what I call mine
You know that since time began
Society favoured man
But now they've found their liberty
Women want equality
You raise your voice you scream and shout
I don't wanna go without
And as a
Straight, white, angry, male
Against society you rail
Girls are girls are girls are fine
They don't need what I call mine
You say that we're all the same
Equal in your favourite game
Don't you see your handicap?
Your position on the map?
You turn head you say your blind
You claim it's never crossed your mind
And as a
Straight, white, angry, male
You'll take wind from out their sail
[Since changed - "You want the wind from out their sail"]
Girls are girls are girls are fine
They don't need what I call mine
Want their hands you want their tongue so
They can't show the damage done
But we'll all point and speak
A dam breaks with just one leak
Bake your head and grind your bones
You'll be buried all alone
And as a
Straight, white, angry, male
Your crusade is doomed to fail
[Since changed - "You want the wind from out their sail". I prefer it that way.]
Girls are girls are girls are fine
They don't need what I call mine!

CHILL, MAN!

I just need to chill, man
Life ain't so bad
I just need to chill, man
Why am I mad?
When my heart begins to quicken
and my pulse it starts to race
and I bump into the man with a punchable face
I just need to chill, man,
Calm myself down
I just need to chill, man
Get ride of that frown
But it's so very hard
When I'm beaten and worn
And every fibre's broken and every nerve is torn
I just need to CHILL, MAN
Can't you see what I mean?!
I JUST NEED TO CHILL, MAN
DON'T YOU KNOW WHAT I'VE SEEN
And you say it doesn't matter,
Just take a deep breath,
And I say that won't happen
'til the one before death
I JUST NEED TO CHILL, MAN
I'M BREAKING AND BRUISED
I JUST NEED TO CHILL, MAN
OH GOD I'M CONFUSED
EVERYTHING IS SCREAMING
RIGHT DEEP DOWN IN MY BRAIN
AND NO PART OF ME HURTS
BUT YET I'M IN PAIN
AND YOU'RE TELLING ME TO CHILL, MAN
DON'T YOU KNOW HOW THAT FEELS
YOU TELL ME TO CHILL, MAN
YOU CALL THAT A DEAL?!
What's in it for me
To breathe and relax?!
You know I'll be happy
When I'm clutching an axe
And you beg me to CHILL, MAN
As I'm hacking away
I don't need to CHILL, MAN
Now you've made my day!
