anti-social? - ciaran murphy lyrics

Loading...

i was sitting in the bar one friday evening
men were laughing at some young lad up the lane
they put a shotgun to his knees
and no-one stopped to hear the pleas
oh it’s so funny how they left him in the rain

and i asked them what they meant by anti-social
was he flooding the estates with low paid jobs?
did he make a million pounds knockin’ public housing’ down
and making sp-ce for yuppy flats for smart -rs-d yobs

but the place was standing still when i stopped talking
and they looked at me as if i wasn’t well
and one said someone had to pay, there was a bookies robbed today
and we’ll all be middle cl-ss soon anyway

[chorus]
but i thought who are we to look down on these people
who could see no other way to make it through
than to fiddle what they could, from the so-called great and good
oh if i just had their b-lls i’d do it too

see i find it hard to take the double standards
to look down on the people doing time
it seems the rich can rob us all, take our produce and have a ball
oh but when we take it back they call it crime

so i went down to the court the following monday
there was a young girl sat crying in the dock
and they told her “crime won’t pay” as they took her child away
and sent her off to hydebank stunned with shock

the credit card she had was labelled stolen
and as the cid man smiled she left in tears
but not a courtroom in the land would put a bankman on remand
though he’d been ripping off the working cl-ss for years

[chorus]
so i said who are we to look down on these people
who could see no other way to make it through
than to fiddle what they could, from the so-called great and good
oh if i just had their b-lls i’d do it too

so back up at the bar i couldn’t help it
as once again the talk returned to crime
i said the man who has the loot nearly always wears a suit
and any man who rips him off is a friend of mine

but i looked around at all the angry faces
and i thought i’d keep my feelings to myself
but i know i’m not alone, only sc-m steal from their own
but if you’re gonna rob the rich just help yourself

[chorus]
so i said who are we to look down on these people
who could see no other way to make it through
than to fiddle what they could, from the so-called great and good
oh if i just had their b-lls i’d do it too
