Stiff Little Fingers - You Never Hear The One That Hits You lyrics

You never hear the one that hits you, no! Well, you work real hard and you stay in line Got your nose to the grindstone all the time Then they say, "I'm sorry and I know it's hard But there ain't no work, just pick up your cards" And you never hear the one that hits you no Never did, never will You never hear the one that hits you no Never did, never will You never hear the one that hits you no, no, no So you send applications all over town and the only replies are to turn you down Then after months someone's on the phone And you get to the interview the job's long gone And you never hear the one that hits you no Never did, never will You never hear the one that hits you no Never did, never will You never hear the one that hits you no, no, no Sneaks up behind you and hits you in the head So you reach the point where you just don't care And you've made up your mind to live on fresh air Cos it doesn't matter what's been done or said And you better start living, you're a long time dead And you never hear the one that hits you no Never did, never will And you never hear the one that hits you no Never did, never will And you never hear the one that hits you no, no, no
