Any Change? (No) – 22nd March 1988

Watch out for them on the corner of the street
Pissed out of their heads, knocked off their feet
‘Fuck Authority’ badges and ‘I Hate You’ shirts
Laughing at the people coming home from work

There’s a song they sing, a favourite phrase
They sing it every day like a brand new craze

‘Here mate, have you got any change?’
You look at me like that, I’m not so fuckin’ strange
‘Well fuck off then you tight old wank,
I know you’ve got some money, I saw you in the bank’

Don’t come up to me with your poor excuses
What you give is what you get so no one loses
You’re always telling me about scrounging off the state
All you end up doing is reaffirming all the hate

This song that you sing, I forgot the words
Why don’t you go away, you’re not being heard

You’d like to get pissed, it makes you feel good
You ‘don’t want their fuckin’ law’, but maybe you should
You’ll piss and moan when someone steals your money
The cops are gonna look at you and find it fuckin’ funny

Get off your arse and start acting what you preach
You know you’ve got a goal, that’s something you can teach
You sit back and laugh at others in their plight
Why don’t you help out and get something right
