Paul Heaton - State Vs Jeeves lyrics

[Verse 1] You're on benefits We're all providing for you From the streets that we sweep to the lights while she sleep Is there anything else we can do? You're on welfare And welfare is part of your life It's the use we forget to the tax breach you get For yourself, your children, and wife [Chorus] And one thing you know from your head to your toe The confusion that this life achieves Hate yourself, man don't get even 'Cause it's always been State vs. Jeeves [Verse 2] You're in poverty Poverty is more than a wage It's the team you support, it's the records you bought It's the news that you read on your page We're all claimers Claiming a place on this earth From the park you were pushed to the midwife who pushed The scream on the day of your birth [Chorus] [Verse 3] We're on scratch cards Scratching like chickens through dust Peckin' our way through the sh** and the hay And the feeling it's this life or bust [Bridge] It's that hoodie you wear and that look of despair As the chambermaid catches the ?feeves? It's that hate of the state when you're having your plate Polished and refilled by Jeeves [Chorus] Oh, State vs. Jeeves... State vs. Jeeves... Oh, State vs. Jeeves... One thing you know... Head to your toes... State vs. Jeeves Ooh, ooh, oh...
