So here I come to save the day
  A regular Joe now on parade
  They say
  It's the only way
  But they
  They only want it when it's there
    So here I come to save the day
  The future's here and the past is yesterday
  They say
  It's the only way
  They say
  They only want it when it's there
  When its there!
    We're not going on a holiday
  We do a lot of work but we don't get paid
  Stand up don't walk away
  Take your pride and swallow, swallow
  Take your pride and swallow, swallow
    Life's full of much unwanted waste
  Crime pays and the junkies walk away
  But for
  Husband and the good son
  They speak
  Ill at ease but they dare not run
  They dare NOT RUN!
    We're not going on a holiday
  We do a lot of work but we don't get paid
  Stand up don't walk away
  Take your pride and swallow, swallow
  (we're not going on a holiday, hey)
  Take your pride and swallow, swallow
  (stand up don't walk away, hey)
  Take your pride and swallow, swallow
  (we're not going on a holiday, hey)
  Take your pride and swallow, swallow
  (stand up don't walk away, hey)
  Take your pride and die
