Billy Bragg - To Have And To Have Not Lyrics
 Complimentary "To Have And To Have Not" Ringtone 
Up in the morning and out to school
Mother says there'll be no work next year
Qualifications once the golden rule
Are now just pieces of paper
Just because you're better than me
Doesn't mean i'm lazy
Just because you're going forwards
Doesn't mean i'm going backwards
If you look the part you'll get the job
In last year's trousers and your old school shoes
The truth is son, it's a buyer's market
They can afford to pick and choose
Just because you're better than me
Doesn't mean i'm lazy
Just because i dress like this
Doesn't mean i'm a communist
The factories are closing and the army's full -
I don't know what i'm going to do
But i've come to see in the land of the free
There's only a future for the chosen few
Just because you're better than me
Doesn't mean i'm lazy
Just because you're going forwards
Doesn't mean i'm going backwards
At twenty one you're on to of the scrapheap
At sixteen you were top of the class
All they taught you at school
Was how to be a good worker
The system has failed you, don't fail yourself
Just because you're better than me
Doesn't mean i'm lazy
Just because you're going forwards
Doesn't mean i'm going backwards
Complimentary "To Have And To Have Not" Ringtone
