Not the Only One Lyrics
[Verse 1]
My father always said to me
"You've gotta work hard and provide for your family"
I thought that he was right
Then I got myself a trade
For a working class boy, it’s the only way I'll ever
Earn a decent wage
But around me, I see a lot of poverty
Underpaid workers being threatened with refundency
[Chorus]
You can have it all and then it's gone
Please say I’m not the only one
You can have it all and then it's gone
Please say I'm not the only one
[Post-Chorus]
And it doesn't sit right with me
No, it doesn't sit right with me
[Verse 2]
I read about 1831
What the men and women of Merthyr had done
They were screaming for their rights
It's a new year now, but nothing's changed
The working class just want a decent wage
And we'll keep up the fight
I can’t believe what I see
It’s a middle class soapbox talking right at me
But they don't speak for me, not me
I won’t waste my time politicking
When it's time for action, I'll be there kicking
We won't fade away, no way
[Chorus]
You can have it all and then it’s gone
Please say I'm not the only one
And I won't stop singing this song
Just say I'm not the only one
[Post-Chorus]
And it doesn't sit right with me
No, it doesn't sit right with me
[Bridge]
Look around, what do I see?
Our people in grips of poverty
I ask myself, what can I do?
'Cause I know we deserve better, I know it's true
So when you're feeling down on your luck
Like you're down and now you don't give a fuck
Remember, brother, I've been there before
We will survive and we will get through
[Chorus]
You can have it all and then it's gone
And I know I'm not the only one
No, I won't stop singing this song
'Cause I know I'm not the only one
You can have it all and then it's gone
And I know I'm not the only one
No, I won't stop singing this song
'Cause I know I'm not the only one
[Post-Chorus]
We might be down, but we're never out
We might be down, but we're never out
We might be down, but we're never out
We might be down, but we're never fucking out
