They say the streets of London, they say they paved with gold well it's hard to believe with 2 million on the dole you paid your taxes all your life, hard times are ahead we're told you're not looking for a handout but just what you are owed
Maybe it's because I'm a Londoner and I love London Town Maybe it's because I'm a Londoner That my city lets me down
We built the high rise buildings and dug tunnels under ground We laid the railway tracks, we invented new towns but now the works dried up and what thanks do we get The choice of underpaid work or a pisspoor welfare check
