GOLD STANDARD

[Verse 1]
Won't you spare some change?
So I can afford some rope
'Cause there's a cost to living
And I am fucking broke!
We've taken the Sertra-line to town
And like a stray I'm taken to the pound

[Pre-Chorus 1]
I'd kill a man for thirty silver pieces
And bomb the banks for my own personal reasons

[Chorus 1]
You can't take me anywhere
I'm under-dressed and ill-prepared
Throwing up more than I care
Oh!
You can't trust me anyway
I'm unemployed and sleep all day
Giving up on minimum wage
Oh!

[Verse 2]
I'll sooner be dead than paying a pension
When my loans are getting all the attention
And half these dismal high streets have shut down
Only thieves and meth dealers hanging around

[Pre-Chorus 2]
I'd give my soul for a couple pints of lager
And sell coat-hangers to expectant fathers

[Chorus 2]
You can't take me anywhere
I'm under-dressed and ill-prepared
Throwing up more than I care
Oh!
You can't trust me anyway
I'm unemployed and sleep all day
Living it up on minimum wage
Oh!
