Lyrics

I Am the Working Class

[Verse 1]

Twenty-one years of minimum wage

Got no problems with manual labour

You stepped up in the nineties, wanna show me how

I don't need no fuckin' favour

[Chorus]

I am the working class!

All day, so I don't have to see your face

I am the working class!

Discipline, the daybreak is when I begin

I am the working class!

Each day I bust my bones to get paid

I am the working class!

Damn straight, the daily grind is my fate

[Verse 2]

Through seven seas of alcohol

And a jail of dank depression

Well, I turned my back, and where are you now?

And I've bucked up for that recession

[Chorus]

I am the working class!

All day, so I don't have to see your face

I am the working class!

Discipline, the daybreak is when I begin

I am the working class!

Each day I bust my bones to get paid

I am the working class!

Damn straight, the daily grind is my fate

I am the working class!

[Guitar Solo]
