State vs Jeeves

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You're on benefits We're all providing for you From the streets that we sweep, to the lights whilst you sleep Is there anything else we can do? You're on welfare And welfare is part of your life It's the abuse we forget, to the tax breaks you get For yourself, your children and wife [Chorus] And one thing you know from your head to your toe The confusion that this life achieves Get yourself mad, don't get even 'Cause it's always been State vs. Jeeves [Verse 2] You're in poverty Poverty is more than a wage It's the team you support, it's the records you bought It's the news that you read on your page We're all claimants Claiming a place on this earth From the park you were pushed, to the midwife who hushed The scream on the day of your birth [Chorus] [Verse 3] We're on scratch cards Scratching like chickens through dust Pecking our way through the shit and the hay And the feeling it's this life or bust It's that hoodie you wear and that look of despair As the chambermaid catches the thieves It's that hate of the state when you're having your plate Polished and refilled by Jeeves [Chorus] [Outro] Oh, state vs. Jeeves State vs. Jeeves Oh, state vs. Jeeves... One thing you know Head to your toes State vs. Jeeves... Ooh, ooh, oh...
