The Nigel Purcell Trio - Benefit street (Remastered) Lyrics

Families behind doors
But you can't see them all
Focus on those who take
And the life choice
They make
It's voyeurism

Sitting at home
Watching this
Are they taking
The piss
Look at my taxes go
Down a drug addict's
Throat
It's voyeurism

Watching the people
Thieving
Watching the people
Breeding
Look at smartphones
They've got
And a computer
Laptop
I thought you were poor
But are you so sure
On benefit street

Do you see people
Working
That would be
Spoiling the theme
They only show us
The worst
The misery and
The hurt
We're all complaining
It's so fascinating
On benefit street

Fifty pee man
Is trying
To make himself
A living
Don't want to go
To the green
Keep your head down
And nose clean
People are meeting
Or are they
Drug dealing
On benefit street
