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 We're not going on a holiday, we do a lot of work and we don't get paid Stand up don't walk away, take your pride and 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
