Scabs So
You drive around in a brand new Mercedes While you're living in a shack And I've heard you're buying drinks for the ladies While the barman runs a tab And I don't think a suit and tie Can cover where you come from Maybe if you play it sly But the people aren't that dumb So you work another week Cuz the future's looking bleak Have to satisfy this greed So if your boss is passing by Try to take him by surprise Ask a raise before he dies It's getting hard to keep on pretending Just for the sake of looking flash After all there's no happy ending I wonder where you'd get the cash Monday mornin' is a dive Another weekend bit the dust You'll exceed your credit line And that car will turn to rust So you work another week Cuz the future's looking bleak Have to satisfy this greed So if your boss is passing by Try to take him by surprise Ask a raise before he dies Can't afford to be too late Cuz the bills have to be paid Got to keep up your charade So you work all hours God sends Pay the loan sharks pay the rent How much money have you spent
