lyrics

(JND)
Turn an empty page into summat worth my undivided /
Just to take my mind off any troubles up inside it /
Stop me cookin' while I'm stewing 'bout another life and /
See me happier, still complainin' when there's nothing like it /
Never had to sleep rougher than a mate's floor /
Or worry if my next meal's paid for /
Or made a mistake that cost way more than pride and a red face /
We fall down, back up in time for the next race /
And though it feels that I'm lagging behind the rest /
Straggling, climb, the test, passin' we tried our best /
And sometimes it isn't good enough, so we struggle but /
Fundamentally, there's nothing much to trouble us /
Money does though - dunnit, well, it does me /
You might be flush, above most in the country /
You could be flat broke, without a single penny in your pocket /
What I'm saying is where we end up, you don't need a wallet //

(Chorus)
(ExP)
You can't take it with you
(JND)
You're halfway to fish food/
(ExP)
The shark waits for its move/
(JND)
Got hard days to live through
(ExP)
It's our state that thinks you
(JND)
Should partake in its view
(Both)
From half 8 to 6 you just can't wait to hit snooze/
(JND)
You can't take it with you
(ExP)
You're halfway to fish food/
(JND)
The shark waits for its move/
(ExP)
Got hard days to live through
(JND)
It's our state that thinks you
(ExP)
Should partake in its view
(Both)
From half 8 to 6 you just can't wait to hit snooze//

(ExP)
Yo...Hit the snooze button or do summat/
A new day dawns, either kills you or you love it/
You suffer bad at the hands of the few crooked/
Their huge stomachs proud so we now must uproot rubbish/
...Split the 1% between the 99/
Fund the NHS better, stop working from time to time/
Sighing "why" as I'm reading the Private Eye/
...More battles with corruption, the papers are blind to lies/
And I'm alive so should be thankful for oxygen and food/
Living in a country that allows opposition views/
Cos in a way, I'm free to do what I want to do/
But at the same time...I wanna throttle these dudes/
The fat cats that inherited a position of eminence/
And think they can get away without flicking a penny in/
They whinge about benefits, couple billion right? Max!/
And their tax dodging's costing us 70 times that//

(Chorus)
(JND)
You can't take it with you
(ExP)
You're halfway to fish food/
(JND)
The shark waits for its move/
(ExP)
Got hard days to live through
(JND)
It's our state that thinks you
(ExP)
Should partake in its view
(Both)
From half 8 to 6 you just can't wait to hit snooze/
(ExP)
You can't take it with you
(JND)
You're halfway to fish food/
(ExP)
The shark waits for its move/
(JND)
Got hard days to live through
(ExP)
It's our state that thinks you
(JND)
Should partake in its view
(Both)
From half 8 to 6 you just can't wait to hit snooze//
