Community Outcast

[Intro]

Devlin...Community Outcast...And this one's for all the characters that have been forgotten in the present time...

[Verse 1]

I represent for the jobless, that have been made redundant

That have got four kids and don't know how to fund em'

Ever since the wife and her husband

Both lost their jobs at the office in london

Now they feel financially trapped

Now they're locked with rats in a dindgy old dungeon

Take this young father of two

Signing on and the government says that his family are spongers

He's like "Damn man

We ain't got a penny or a pound

Let alone money for milk

And nappies and trainers and jumpers"

He got taken off site cause it's cheaper

To pay Europeans to labour in numbers

How's he gonna take care of his youngers?

[Hook]

I represent for the people

Let down by a nation

And left in the streets where it's evil

Little kids surrounded by knives and heroin needles

I represent for the people

Let down by a nation

And left on the streets where it's evil

Community outcast, cold, tired and feeble

[Verse 2]

I represent for the homeless

Let down by a nation

More interested in war and invasion

When children are sleeping at railway stations

No home or money

They wish they could phone their mummy

To put a hot meal in their tummy

So at night when the temperature drops

I'm asking you, remember what you got

These kids go home to a cardboard box

They're the sole survivors

Warming their hands with a flickering flame of their lighters

All their life they've been frightened

Walk the streets with their head down

Knowing deep down inside that they've really been let down

By a country that's crippled

And I thought mankind was supposed to be civil

[Hook]

I represent for the people

Let down by a nation

And left in the streets where it's evil

Little kids surrounded by knives and heroin needles

I represent for the people

Let down by a nation

And left on the streets where it's evil

Community outcast, cold, tired and feeble

[Verse 3]

I represent single Mums

All alone on their own trying to put food in the mouths of her two sons

And the fathers gone, there's no cash flow, lack of income

But that's just the way it is

She counts fifteen needles pushing her pram on the way to the lift

And this is where Brown said it's safe to live and raise kids

She finds her way out of the block

With two kids in a pram and a rip and a stain in her top

She goes to sign on just to maintain the little she's got

For her kids sake

They'll never see a decent life

But they can dream and they'll sleep tonight

They've been hung out and left to dry

The kids are in bed, Mums left to cry

[Hook]

I represent for the people

Let down by a nation

And left in the streets where it's evil

Little kids surrounded by knives and heroin needles

I represent for the people

Let down by a nation

And left on the streets where it's evil

Community outcast, cold, tired and feeble

[Verse 4]

I represent for the old folk, that live alone

No family or kids at home

And all he wants is someone to speak to but nobody thinks to phone

Sits at home in the dark, no electric

Since his wife passed, he can't accept it

He feels isolated, neglected

And now his council flats infested

So he goes to the shop for his papers

With a stick and he falls in the mud

The people around him all pulled him up

But to him that's just a reminder

He's old and he's weak with no one to love

I see clouds up above

Another bad day in the diary

An old man one of many

Killed by society, strangled quietly

[Hook] (x2)

I represent for the people

Let down by a nation

And left in the streets where it's evil

Little kids surrounded by knives and heroin needles

I represent for the people

Let down by a nation

And left on the streets where it's evil

Community outcast, cold, tired and feeble
