Can't spare you the time You're just another beggar to me All of the good times, have been and gone Life's just a struggle, yeah to carry on They got all the money, but they won't create no jobs They're bringing in poverty, and giving money to the cops, they say... (chorus) instrumental break (chorus) x2
