lyrics

playin’ the numbers game
aint it such a shame
we try so hard to compete
we’re cannon fodder
for the elite
push u all up to the bar
and tell us who our friends are
then drive them all insane
with the night bus or
the milk train
The streets are full of ex-champs
and tramps with tranny amps
like it or not
constructions wot we got
get a few quid for all this stress
get on your knees and
pray 4 the next
round on the merry-go-round
with the ups always bein
bullied by the downs
