So here I come to save the day
A regular Joe now on parade
They say

It's the only way
But they
They only want it when it's there


So here I come to save the day
The future's here and the past is yesterday

They say
It's the only way
They say

They only want it when it's there
When its there!


We're not going on a holiday
We do a lot of work but we don't get paid
Stand up don't walk away

Take your pride and swallow, swallow
Take your pride and swallow, swallow


Life's full of much unwanted waste
Crime pays and the junkies walk away
But for

Husband and the good son
They speak
Ill at ease but they dare not run

They dare NOT RUN!

We're not going on a holiday

We do a lot of work but we don't get paid
Stand up don't walk away
Take your pride and swallow, swallow

(we're not going on a holiday, hey)
Take your pride and swallow, swallow
(stand up don't walk away, hey)

Take your pride and swallow, swallow
(we're not going on a holiday, hey)
Take your pride and swallow, swallow

(stand up don't walk away, hey)
Take your pride and die
