Lyrics

Julie's in the carpark
Waiting for her shift to start
At Sports Direct they clock you in
Half-hour after you begin
Cait Riley's up at Poundland
Waiting for Ed Milliband
To step it up and take a stand on Workfare
Yeah, when I needed Labour were you there, were you there?
When I needed Labour were you there?

Oh, workers of the world stand up and leave them in no doubt
A living wage for workers or we'll vote you b*st*rds out
No, you will not steal our labour, hear my generation shout
You pay peanuts, you get monkeys
You pay nothing, you get nowt

Hooray for all the cool kids
Doing their apprenticeships
Invest in youth for future power
But f**k it, at £2 an hour
London 9 to 5
But if you want to stay alive
Better hope mum and daddy will be there, will be there
With a nice big house for you to share
Oh, workers of the world stand up and leave them in no doubt
A living wage for workers or we'll vote you b*st*rds out
No, you will not steal our labour, hear my generation shout
You pay peanuts, you get monkeys
You pay nothing, you get nowt

And we're like lobsters in a pot
Tryna lock down all we've got
'Cause if you won't do the time
Well, there's twenty more behind you
Queueing up in line to take your shot
If you're not

You pay peanuts, you get monkeys
You pay nothing, you get nowt
You pay peanuts, you get monkeys
You pay nothing, you get nowt
You pay peanuts, you get monkeys
You pay nothing, you get nowt
