Another Sunny Afternoon

Another sunny afternoon,
Everyone is off to the beach,
Everyone except me,
I’m at work and it is out of my reach.

Time is slipping through my fingers,
Work is all I ever seem to do,
There are others like me,
Mr. Benefit’s cheat its not you.

How can you live with yourself?
Down at the beach scuba diving,
Tax payers hard at work,
Paying for your skiving.

Living off my sweat,
Receiving everything for free,
I’m working like a slave,
You’re lounging by the sea.

You know all the tricks,
You live with no shame,
Tell me your secrets,
How do you play this game?

I am a worker,
I can hardly pay my rent,
Yet for you,
A big fat Giro is sent.

Where is the justice in this?
I pay for your drugs and beer,
You have it good,
Of debt you have no fear.

Just another sunny afternoon,
I’m hard at work,
Mr. Lazy’s on the beach,
So tell me who is the silly jerk.
