    Story Behind the Song
    life on the social security (the dole)

    Lyrics
    John Bailey goes down to the social security hall
    Smokes his last cigarette waits 'til his number is called
    Restart is beckoning the lost and forgotten
    The jobs are degrading the wages are rotten
    He prays for a break but the writing is there on the wall

    And we all stand together
    Or we all sink together
    Yes we all stand or fall with our backs to the wall
    Yes we all yes we all stand together

    Back home in the terrace his harassed wife wonders how she
    Can make one pack of fishfingers stretch to their supper and tea
    There's no equality too much anxiety
    Waiting around for the classless society
    Do you really believe that this country's still honest and free

    Outside in the street the children with sorrowful eyes
    Mirror depression like photographs from the archives
    Their only hope is a good education
    But their schools slowly dying through deprivation
    Abandon all hope in the formative years of their lives

    Nigel is sipping champagne in his dark blue rolls royce
    Top hat and tails silver spoon and impeccable voice
    He leers at the homeless existing like rats
    Why live in a box it's so cheap for a flat
    But it's not his concern after all everyone has a choice
