Thrown On The Scrapheap Songtext / Lyric

They fought in the war to keep the people free

From the nazi scum who would invade our country

Fighting the fascist filth they risked their lives

But now they're old and weak they're just left to die



IT AIN'T RIGHT - NO WAY!

IT AIN'T RIGHT - THEY'VE BEEN BETRAYED






As soon as they're no use the government says goodbye

They throw them on the scrapheap and leave them to die

As soon as you're no use the government will say goodbye

They're throw you on the scrapheap and leave you to die



Folk who've worked for society for all of their years

Given blood and sweat and toil and tears

As soon as they're no use when they're too old

The government lets them freeze to death in the cold



On the pittance of a pension, struggling to survive

Freezing to death in the winter while the government stands by

They don't care about the old but what did you expect?

Put your trust in government and this is what you'll get
