I'm Scum Lyrics



I'm council housed and violent

I'm laughing at the tyrants

I'm sleeping under sirens

Whilst wondering where the time went

I'm scum

I'm scum

I'll sing at fascists 'til my head comes off

I am Dennis Skinner's molotov

I'm lefty, I'm soft

I'm minimum wage job

I am a mongrel dog

I'm just another cog

I'm scum

I'm scum



This snowflake's an avalanche



Dirty rotten filthy scum

For a long long while I'm known as

Dirty rotten filthy scum

For a long old while I'm known as scum

I'm scum



Spit in your percolator

I am procrastinator

I over-tip the waiter

Sarcastic computator

'Cause I'm scum

I'm scum

I don't care about the next James Bond

He kills for country, queen and god

We don't need another murderous toff

I'm just wondering where the high street's gone

'Cause I'm scum

I'm scum



This snowflake's an avalanche



Dirty rotten filthy scum

For a long long while I'm known as

Dirty rotten filthy scum

For a long old while I've known I'm scum

For a long old while I've known I'm scum

For a long old while I've known I'm scum

For a long old while I've known I'm scum
