With Everything To Lose lyrics
Song information
Artist: Style Council Album: Home & Abroad
Lyrics
From the playground to the wasteground Hope ends at 17 - Sweeping floors and filling shelves Forced into government schemes - 11 years spent to dig out ditches Forget your schoolday dreams - Guarantees and lie-filled speeches But nothings what it seems - Qualified and patronised and with everything to lose No choice or chance for the future The rich enjoy less tax - Dress the girls in pretty pink The shit goes to the blacks A generation's heart torn out And covered up the facts The only thing they'll understand Is a wall against their backs The only hope now left for those - with everything to lose
In desperation empty eyes Signed up and thrown away - There's drugs replacing dignity The short sharp shock repaid - There'll be no money if you dare to question Working the tory way - The truth is up there carved in stone Where 21 dead now lay - A family's loss for a few pounds saved - With everything to lose
