[Chorus]
Alright, alright
What will you win yourself tonight?
Spin the wheel for the chance of a hot meal
Alright, alright
Spin the wheel for a deal, you might win a hot meal
[Verse 1]
Oi, what's all the talk about? (What's it all about)
Why are they still here?
Walk 'em out (Right)
Election comes and they all pour out (There they go again)
I never see 'em 'round here where the poors about, bunch of pussies (Never)
Shouting back and forth (Rah, rah, rah)
See how the claws come out, meow ooh
And I'm here (I'm here)
Three layers, sat in the coldest seat
World outside is burning down
My flat still won't hold heat (No, it won't)
When was it great? (Never)
Someone lied again
Seems like price of life's on the rise again
Wait, someone lend me a fiver then
[Chorus]
Alright, alright
What will you win yourself tonight?
Spin the wheel for the chance of a hot meal
Alright, alright
Spin the wheel for a deal, you might win a hot meal
[Verse 2]
So I can fill my cup (Right to the brim)
'Cause their cup runneth over (Uh, huh)
And my cup ain't got enough, listen mate (What?)
It's rough (Yeah) and I'm made of tougher stuff (I am)
So if I can't eat, I'm back on street
Poppy seed, no buttercup
I trained myself with these chemical concoctions (Sure did)
The kids aren't all right
We need a way to feed our offspring
My bredren's doing a stretch 'cause he weren't taking what they're offering
But he was offering what they're taking
Judge found out and he locked him
[Chorus]
Alright, alright
What will you win yourself tonight?
Spin the wheel for the chance of a hot meal
Alright, alright
Spin the wheel for a deal, you might win a hot meal
[Bridge]
For the love of payment
The worst days of our lives will provide great entertainment
We'll all tune in
Watch ourselves chase it
Go on piggy
Go on little piggy, piggy
For the love of payment
The worst days of our lives will provide great entertainment
But I won't tune in
And watch us chase it
We're made for more
I say we take it
[Chorus]
Alright, alright
What will you win yourself tonight?
Spin the wheel for the chance of a hot meal
Alright, alright
Spin the wheel for a deal, you might win a hot meal
[Outro]
You are more than your take home pay
Making barely enough to make it through the day
I know, I know, I know
You are more than your ability to earn
You are more than your future successors
You are here, you are now
Surely, your existence is testament
To the successful lineage from which you were arrived
Here, now
You are stronger than you think you are
You are love
You are not alone
You are going through hell, but keep going
Be proud, be open
Be loud, be hopeful
Be healthy, be happy
Be kind to yourself
Be decisive
Here, now
Do not live every day as if it is your last
Live every day as if it is your first
Full of wonder and excitement
As you wonder along, excited
Marveling at the possibilities of all that stands before you
Here, now
