You Haven't A Chance Songtext / Lyric

You're walking down the street with all your pockets empty,

Hold on to money, you haven't a chance.

If you're carryin', some bugger rolled ya,

Try to make a bloody cry.



You're hanging on by the skin of your teeth

And I don't believe you've got a hope.

They're kicking the earth from under your feet,

Just pull yourself together and say, you haven't a chance.

Haven't a chance.



Out with the girlfriend, just a tiny quiet night

But you find a bonnie, you haven't a chance.

You'll get her pregnant, marry her or have to pay,

What's the bloody difference.



You're hanging on by the skin of your teeth

And I don't believe you've got a hope.

They're kicking the earth from under your feet,

Just pull yourself together and say, you haven't a chance.

Haven't a chance.






Try to get a job, you're lying through your back teeth,

He's fiddling with his tie, you haven't a chance.

He looks you up and down, treats you like a scumbag,

What's the bloody use of it.



You're hanging on by the skin of your teeth

And I don't believe you've got a hope.

They're kicking the earth from under your feet,

Just pull yourself together and say, you haven't a chance.

Haven't a chance.



Haven't a chance.

You haven't a chance.



You're hanging on by the skin of your teeth

And I don't believe you've got a hope.

They're kicking the earth from under your feet,

Just pull yourself together and say, you haven't a chance.

Haven't a chance.



On the job creation, treated like a schoolkid,

Planting bloody trees, you haven't a chance.

In the longer line, waiting for the handout,

With all the other animals, you haven't a chance.

Too many rats are running in the rat race,

Trying to kick you in the head, you haven't a chance.

They cut your legs off, arms off, feet gone,

Head gone, dole off, you haven't a chance.

Read the paper, get yourself a trade,

You'll have to join the army, you haven't a chance.

You'll go to Ireland and get bloody shot dead,

Not bloody likely.



You're hanging on by the skin of your teeth

And I don't believe you've got a hope.

They're kicking the earth from under your feet,

Just pull yourself together and say, you haven't a chance.

Haven't a chance.



You're walking down the street with all your pockets empty,

Hold on to money, you haven't a chance.

If you're carryin', some bugger rolled ya,

Try to make a bloody cry, you haven't a chance.

Out with the girlfriend, just a tiny quiet night,

But you find a bonnie, you haven't a chance.

You'll get her pregnant, marry her or have to pay,

What's the bloody difference, you haven't a chance.

Try to get a job, you're lying through your back teeth,

He's fiddling with his tie, you haven't a chance.

He looks you up and down, treats you like a scumbag,

What's the bloody use of it, you haven't a chance.

On the job creation, treated like a schoolkid,

Planting bloody trees, you haven't a chance.

In the longer line, waiting for the handout

With all the other animals, you haven't a chance.

Too many rats are running in the rat race

Trying to kick you in the head, you haven't a chance.

They cut your dole off.
