LYRICS:
[verse 1]
So here I come to save the day
A regular joe now on parade
They say, it's the only way
But they, they only want it when it's there
So here I come to save the day
The future's here, and the past is yesterday
They say, it's the only way
They say, they only want it when it's there
When it's there
[chorus]
We're not going on a holiday
We do a lot of work but we don't get paid
Stand up, don't walk away
Take your pride and swallow, swallow
Take your pride and swallow, swallow
[verse 2]
Life's full of much unwanted waste
Crime pays and the junkies walk away
But for, husband and the good son
They speak, ill at ease but they dare not run
They dare not run
[repeat chorus]
[bridge]
[repeat chorus]
Take your pride and swallow, swallow
Take your pride and swallow, swallow
Take your pride and swallow, swallow
Take your pride and swallow, swallow
Take your pride and go
