you haven t a chance

Gentle Giant

You re walking down the street with all your pockets empty
Hold on to money, you haven t a chance
If you re carryin , some bugger rolled ya
Try to make a bloody cry

You re hanging on by the skin of your teeth
And I don t believe you ve got a hope
They re kicking the earth from under your feet
Just pull yourself together and say, you haven t a chance
Haven t a chance

Out with the girlfriend, just a tiny quiet night
But you find a bonnie, you haven t a chance
You ll get her pregnant, marry her or have to pay
What s the bloody difference

Try to get a job, you re lying through your back teeth
He s fiddling with his tie, you haven t a chance
He looks you up and down, treats you like a scumbag
What s the bloody use of it

Haven t a chance
You haven t a chance

On the job creation, treated like a schoolkid
Planting bloody trees, you haven t a chance
In the longer line, waiting for the handout
With all the other animals, you haven t a chance
Too many rats are running in the rat race
Trying to kick you in the head, you haven t a chance
They cut your legs off, arms off, feet gone
Head gone, dole off, you haven t a chance
Read the paper, get yourself a trade
You ll have to join the army, you haven t a chance
You ll go to Ireland and get bloody shot dead
Not bloody likely

You re walking down the street with all your pockets empty
Hold on to money, you haven t a chance
If you re carryin , some bugger rolled ya
Try to make a bloody cry, you haven t a chance
Out with the girlfriend, just a tiny quiet night
But you find a bonnie, you haven t a chance
You ll get her pregnant, marry her or have to pay
What s the bloody difference, you haven t a chance
Try to get a job, you re lying through your back teeth
He s fiddling with his tie, you haven t a chance
He looks you up and down, treats you like a scumbag
What s the bloody use of it, you haven t a chance
On the job creation, treated like a schoolkid
Planting bloody trees, you haven t a chance
In the longer line, waiting for the handout
With all the other animals, you haven t a chance
Too many rats are running in the rat race
Trying to kick you in the head, you haven t a chance
They cut your dole off
