lyrics

Damn this ultraviolet light
I can’t find a vein

You can call me human trash
but I love my junkie name

I’m not who I used to be
I don’t want to be ‘me’ again

So I’ll keep on getting high
until my big OD

Then my friends the rats
can come and feast on me

Little furry fiends
I commend my turned blue flesh unto thee...

I am the child of sin
I am the child of gin

The tattoos of my poverty
are scrawled across my skin

I’ve been a benefit cheat for centuries
Me and my chavish kin

When my 11 year old liver gives in to the bargain booze

Then my friends the rats
can gnaw me through and through

Little furry fiends
I commend my pickled flesh unto you...

Let’s go to the bank to get some food
Let the bankers feed us

We need drink drugs and money too
Mr Banker Wanker give it up

Or with my bow and arrow
I will stalk the royal deer

The regal stag rears up his head
He senses I am near

I know that I could hang for this
but my hunger overwhelms my fear

My crime is being poor
to that I will confess

but my friends the rats
say a poor man tastes the best

Little furry fiends
They keep human skulls as trophies in their nests

Let’s go to the bank to get some food...
