lyrics
I was born on a Tuesday the right side of poverty
I blame my mum and dad for everything that’s wrong with me
My eye-sight’s perfect, my hearings good
If I fell someone would pick me up, they would
With a little bit of effort I got most of what I want
If it were an actual race I’d be up there near the front
I work I’ve got a job I play I love and am loved
Just for entertainment well a button will be pushed
If I’m hungry I eat, if I’m tired sleep takes me
And if they’re worn, new shoes for my feet
I will never change the world X4 (CHORUS)
I’m vegetarian, I think that means I care
I give change to the homeless but only if its spare
I follow the greatest football team in the world
I am never penniless, I always win
Don’t get me wrong, I’m in a constant state of guilt
About my life and how easily it was built
All over the globe, there is so much wrong
Too much pain, it’s a big problem
It’s just so far away
CHORUS
So ask me again what I really believe in
And I’ll try and be clever but more than likely my answer will be thin
And I sometimes think that not having to cling to anything
Can be the most dangerous place in the world to be in
And when history ask what side of the line I was on
What was he doing here, well best forgotten.
Chorus X 2

I work I’ve got a job I play I love and am loved
Just for entertainment well a button will be pushed
If I’m hungry I eat, if I’m tired sleep takes me
And if they’re worn, new shoes for my feet
