There are some bad people on the rise
There are some bad people on the rise
They're saving their own skins by ruining people's lives

Bad, bad people on the rise

On a government scheme designed to kill your dream
Oh mum, oh dad
Once poor, always poor
La la la la la

On a government scheme designed to kill your dream
Oh mum, oh dad
Once poor, always poor
La la la la la

Interesting drug, the one that you took
Tell the truth, it really helped you
An interesting drug, the one that you took
God, it really, really helped you

You wonder why we're only half ashamed
'Cause enough is too much
And look around
Can you blame us? Can you blame us?
