Well, he's watching all the wealthy folk on his way to work Saturday's so far away, there's so much shit to shirk He's gotta keep his chin up, he's gotta keep his nerve But he just wants to skin up and sit down And flaming will sod those who he serves 'Cause what's the use of money If you've got no time to use it? He don't wanna sell his life to you You know, he'd rather have his time than a bob or two But you can't find the money for your rent Or to pay the laundry lent You better turn to God 'cause you're up shit creak And you're sailing into hell You'll be wailing when they sell your soul to the repo man And now he's unemployed, he lives off milk and bread His graduate account is so far in the red He listened to his heart when he should have used his head He suffers for his art, he's so skint His tenancy is hanging by a thread And now he's got the time But he hasn't got the money To do the things that people do But still he'd rather have his time than a bob or two But you can't find the money for your rent Or to pay the laundry lent You better turn to God 'cause you're up shit creak And you're sailing into hell You'll be wailing when they sell your soul to the repo man All of his money is gone (All of his money has gone) What did he spend it all on? (What did he spend it all on?) He's never had so much fun (He's never had so much fun) All of his money is gone (All of his money has gone) Oh no now my last penny has been spent Still my life is heaven sent 'Cause I've got my friends to help me through this time I'll repay you in the end, don't you worry I promise you I'll pay you back with time Find the money for your rent Or to pay the laundry lent You better turn to God 'cause you're up shit creak And you're sailing into hell You'll be wailing when they sell your soul to the repo man Find the money for your rent (All his money is gone) Find the money for your rent
