[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
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
