Chisel – Not The Only One Lyrics
Artist: Chisel
Song: Not The Only One
My father always said to me, you gotta work hard provide for your family
I thought that he was right (alright)
Then i got myself a trade
For a working class boy, it’s the only way i’ll ever earn a decent wage
But around me, i see a lot of poverty
Underpaid workers being threatened with redundancy
You can have it all and then it’s gone
Please say i’m not the only one
You can have it all and then it’s gone
Please say i’m not the only one
And it doesn’t sit right with
No, it doesn’t sit right with me
I read about 1831, what the mеn and women of merthyr had done
Thеy were screaming for their rights (their rights)
It’s a new year now but nothing’s changed
The working class just want a decent wage and we’ll keep up the fight
I can’t believe what i see, it’s a middle-class soapbox talking right at me and they don’t speak for me (not me)
I won’t waste my time politicking, when its time for action i’ll be there kicking
We won’t fade away, no way
You can have it all and then it’s gone, please say i’m not the only one
You can have it all and then it’s gone, please say i’m not the only one
And it doesn’t sit right with me
No, it doesn’t sit right with me
Look around, what do i say, our people in grips of poverty
I ask myself, what can i do? i know we deserve better, i know that its true
So when you’re feeling down on your luck, like you’re down and you no longer give a f#ck
Remember brother i’ve been there before; we will survive and we will get through
You can have it all and then it’s gone, and i know i’m not the only one
No i won’t stop singing this song, cos i know i’m not the only one
You can have it all and then it’s gone, and i know i’m not the only one
No i won’t stop singing this song, cos i know i’m not the only one
We might be down but we’re never out
We might be down but we’re never out
We might be down but we’re never out
We might be down but we’re never – f#cking – out!
