Lyrics
Good morning, this is your benefit, benefit
Starting the day with a reminder of the benefits available
Enjoy it, after all it is for free
An encouragement to appreciate these benefits as they are free
Have you thought about getting a job yet?
Asking about efforts to secure employment
Well tell me, what the fuck I’m meant to do?
Expressing frustration and confusion about what to do
You not remember, I’m the one who you let get screwed?
Recalling being mistreated or taken advantage of
Where were you when I still had things to prove?
Questioning someone's absence during a time of needing support
Head up
Repetition emphasizing a sense of realization that it's too late for something
It’s too late now
-Head up
-It’s too late now
-Head up
-It’s too late now
-Head up
-It’s too late now
-Not that easy, I have heard this before
Rejecting the notion that the situation is easy
And clearly, you’re just not trying that hard
Suggesting someone isn't exerting enough effort
Look here, box packer, four pounds an hour
Describing a low-paying job as a box packer
You’re joking, I got kids to support
Objecting due to responsibilities towards children
And as for my eroding self-dignity
Feeling a loss of self-respect and dignity
You are breaking me; I can’t go on like this
Expressing being emotionally broken and unable to continue
Head up
Repeated phrases indicating a sense of realization that it's too late for something
It’s too late now
-Head up
-It’s too late now
-Head up
-It’s too late now
-Head up
-It’s too late now
-I’m waiting for nothing but holding my breath
Awaiting something uncertain while feeling anxious
As the future appears so much bleaker than this
Feeling pessimistic about the future
Panic that’s gripping my whole fucked routine
Experiencing panic disrupting the established routine
And a silence affecting all my family
Noting how silence affects the family amid chaos
Check this ticking time bomb
Metaphorical references to a personal crisis and trying to prevent further loss
And toast to my choice
-Of preventing a crumbling
-And wasting more cash
-I cannot believe that I’m wholly to blame for
Denying sole responsibility for the situation
I’ve been through this system, I’m not too impressed
Expressing disappointment with a system previously experienced
So, the vote came in and we said “more pain, Ta
Describing a political scenario where dissatisfaction leads to a problematic outcome
We adore your talk
-‘Cos we hate the other
-We can now speak free, you can rule forever”
-As the racists come to play
-So, the vote came in and we said “more pain, ta
-We adore your talk
-‘Cos we hate the other
-We can now speak free, you can rule forever”
-As the bosses get their ways
Indicating the dominance of powerful figures in society
And he says…
A repetition of the beginning, reiterating the day's benefits
Good morning, this is your benefit, benefit
Repeating earlier lines, highlighting a sense of betrayal and being let down
Enjoy it, after all it is for free
-Have you thought about getting a job yet?
-Well tell me, what the fuck I’m meant to do?
-You not remember, I’m the one who you let get screwed?
-Where were you when I still had things to prove?
-He’s set up
Repetitive statements indicating a setting up or establishment of individuals
She’s set up
-He’s set up
-She’s set up
-He’s set up
-She’s set up
-He’s set up
-She’s set up
-He’s set up
-She’s set up
-He’s set up
-She’s set up
-He’s set up
-She’s set up
-He’s set up
-She’s set up
