Solitary Confinement

歌詞

I was living in a newtown I had problems with my parents So I moved on up to London town Where they said that things were happening, going down Chorus: Living in a bedsit Bunking the tube trains Sleeping all day long And you know no one, cos you don't go out, Cos you've got no work You just watch television Living with unemployment I, I ain't got a job And, there's no work in the city They, they always try to blame it on the blacks But it's really those in power that stab you in the back Chorus 'round our way, we ain't got a lot And after two years on the dole, I felt I'd been left to rot But now I've joined the Army and, believe it or not I'm going to Northern Ireland and, I'm going to get shot! Chorus Living with unemployment Oh you get so lonely Living with unemployment It gets so frustrating Living with unemployment And the Neurotics wanna tell you, what it's like to be Unemployed, out of work, unemployed, out of work (repeat) "Try to stay, out of trouble dear..." It's lonely for you And it's lonely for me It's lonely for all of us - can't you see? Chorus Living with unemployment Oh you get so lonely Living with unemployment It gets so frustrating Living with unemployment - living without When you're out of work They treat you like dirt When you're out of work They treat you like dirt It's all part of the plan (8) We are the scroungers (4) Living with unemployment
