So Lyrics - Singles - Scabs

You drive around in a brand new Mercedes 

While you're living in a shack 

And I've heard you're buying drinks for the ladies 

While the barman runs a tab 

And I don't think a suit and tie 

Can cover where you come from 

Maybe if you play it sly 

But the people aren't that dumb 

So you work another week 

'cause the future's looking bleak 

Have to satisfy this greed 

So if your boss is passing by 

Try to take him by surprise 

Ask a raise before he dies 

It's getting hard to keep on pretending 

Just for the sake of looking flash 

After all there's no happy ending 

I wonder where you'd get the cash 

Monday mornin' is a dive 

Another weekend bit the dust 

You'll exceed your credit line 

And that car will turn to rust 

So you work another week 

'cause the future's looking bleak 

Have to satisfy this greed 

So if your boss is passing by 

Try to take him by surprise 

Ask a raise before he dies 

Can't afford to be too late 

'cause the bills have to be paid 

Got to keep up your charade 

So you work all hours God sends 

Pay the loan sharks pay the rent 

How much money have you spent
