Billy Bragg
To Have and Have Not
Up in the morning and out to schoolMother says there'll be no work next yearQualifications once the Golden RuleAre now just pieces of paperJust because you're better than meDoesn't mean I'm lazyJust because you're going forwardsDoesn't mean I'm going backwardsIf you look the part you'll get the jobIn last year's trousers and your old school shoesThe truth is son, it's a buyer's marketThey can afford to pick and chooseJust because you're better than meDoesn't mean I'm lazyJust because I dress like thisDoesn't mean I'm a communistThe factories are closing and the army's full -I don't know what I'm going to doBut I've come to see in the Land of the FreeThere's only a future for the Chosen FewJust because you're better than meLetras de cancionesDoesn't mean I'm lazyJust because you're going forwardsDoesn't mean I'm going backwardsAt twenty one you're on top of the scrapheapAt sixteen you were top of the classAll they taught you at schoolWas how to be a good workerThe system has failed you, don't fail yourselfJust because you're better than meDoesn't mean I'm lazyJust because you're going forwardsDoesn't mean I'm going backwards
