rent a flat above a shop cut your hair and get a job
G
smoke some fags and play some pool

watching roaches climb the wall
if you called your dad he could stop it all

you'll never do whatever common people do

because you think that poor is cool
C
like a dog lying in a corner
G
they will bite you and never warn you look out
they'll tear your insides out

and the chip stains and grease will come out in the bath

with no meaning or control and with nowhere left to go
