The Young’uns – You Won’t Find Me on Benefits Street Lyrics
Artist: The Young’uns
Song: You Won’t Find Me on Benefits Street
One dreary Monday mornin’, a knock came at me door
A lanky lad who’s smile and suit I’d never seen before
He said “we’re making a TV show for people who have nowt.”
So I gave him tea and biscuits, aye, and then I threw him out
I siad “I may be down but I’m not beat
And you won’t find me on Benefits Street”
For me grandad, he made iron, me father he made steel
There may be nowt for me to make, but that don’t change how I feel
For me grandad built this town, and me father walked thеse streets
So if I fall on the pavemеnt, why, I’ll get back on my feet
‘Cause I may be down, but I’m not beat
And you won’t find me on Benefits Street
Me grandad fought the fascists, and me father fought for a job
So I’ll fight anyone who tries to stigmatise and fob
For me grandad laid these roads, and me father made these cars
So if I lie in the gutter, I’ll be gazing at the stars
‘Cause I may be down, but I’m not beat
And you won’t find me on Benefits Street
