the bosses are the menaces they don't give a damn for you

they know that you earn their pay

there's a real life waiting if you just get up and go

run away johnny run away

you know the banks and the money lenders want to keep you down

want to stop you from having your say

don't let them tell you how you've got to run your life

weekends at your caravan on the south coast

you only get 1 chance so drink it down to the very last drop

this is your 1 chance stand up be proud and don't stop

you only get 1 chance so drink it down to the very last drop

this is your 1 chance stand up be proud and don't stop

your whole life is wasted doing someone else's work

they get rich you get tired that's the way

go to school get a job you retire then you die
