Lars Frederiksen & The Bastards - To Have And To Have Not lyrics

Up in the morning and out to school

Mother says there'll be no work next year

Qualifications once the Golden Rule are now just pieces of paper

Just because you're better than me doesn't mean I'm lazy

Just because you're going forwards doesn't mean I'm going backwards

Well if you look the part well then

You'll get the job in last year's trousers and your oldschool shoes

The truth is son it's a buyer's market they can afford to pick and choose

Just because you're better than me doesn't mean I'm lazy

Just because I dress like this doesn't mean I'm a Communist

Well the factory's are closing and the army's full

I don't know what I'm going to do

But I've come to see in the land of the free

There's only room for a chosen few

Just because you're better than me doesn't mean I'm lazy

Just because you're going forwards doesn't mean I'm going backwards

Well at 21 you're atop of the scrap heap

At 16 you were top of your class

Well I dropped outta high school in Campbell, California

Got a guitar and I never looked back

Just because your better than me doesn't mean I'm lazy

Just because I dress like this doesn't mean I'm a Communist
