Foreign Beggars - 24-7 lyrics

I could give a fuck about
An honest day's work
Your weapons ain’t defence
You ain't shoppin' God’s work
Every penny earned's gettin' spent
On more wars sweatin' blood for the tax just
To live on planet Earth
I could give a fuck about
An honest day's work
Your weapons ain't defence
You ain't shoppin' God’s work
Every penny earned’s gettin' spent
On more wars sweatin’ blood for the tax just
To live on planet Earth

Welcome to the L, it's peak in these boroughs
Police run among us discreet in deep cover
They seek more of us, shift in mad numbers
So they breach more of us
Quick to handcuff us
Getting hassled by cops
Just cotchin' on the block
Followed round the shops they're
Watchin’ round the clock
Thought man was on a shot?
That's not even a shock
When your view of 'our lot' is
Rotten from the top downwards
I tend to speak the mess I
See ‘n' this is a disorder
Never been no better sheep to
Lead to the slaughter
I dare believe a better dream
Let's lift up the borders
In memory of refugees that
Slipped in the waters
While tabloids radicalise
And strategise, to separate with bad advice
I bury those in stereo, while they stereotype
The profile of one ready to fight, yeah

I could give a fuck about
An honest day's work
Your weapons ain't defence
You ain't shoppin' God's work
Every penny earned's gettin' spent
On more wars sweatin' blood for the tax just
To live on planet Earth
I could give a fuck about
An honest day's work
Your weapons ain't defence
You ain't shoppin' God's work
Every penny earned's gettin' spent
On more wars sweatin' blood for the tax just
To live on planet Earth

I could give a fuck about a 9-5
Operation 24-7 I got plenty more to do
I was destitute now I'm
Destined for the booth
You could get beheaded just for
Questinin' for the truth
Or get the leather boot from
Those terrorists in blue
Maybe get death sentence from
Oppressors in a suit why am I a threat for
Simply mentionin' my views
If they were tellin' me the truth would
I second guess the news like
The fuck is this on my TV
All I hear is lies comin' from these debriefs
Why they spendin' all their
Time goin after Greenpeace
When the cancer's at the top
But they blamin' these streets
Fam, I'm yellin' "Black Lives Matter"
If all lives did then why
This black child battered
Why this black mind splattered on
The pavement no recourse
Shouts to Kaepernick sacrifice open discourse

I could give a fuck about
An honest day's work
Your weapons ain't defence
You ain't shoppin' God's work
Every penny earned's gettin' spent
On more wars sweatin' blood for the tax just
To live on planet Earth
I could give a fuck about
An honest day's work
Your weapons ain't defence
You ain't shoppin' God's work
Every penny earned's gettin' spent
On more wars sweatin' blood for the tax just
To live on planet Earth
