Lyrics:
a pity
They're tearing old quality down
Without any pity
Now they're coming to take me away
To Scrapheap City
They say that good manners belong
from the scrapheap we're on.
You should have lost your cool.
of the scrapheap
At sixteen you were top of your class
All they taught you at school
Was how to be a good worker
The system has failed you, don't fail yourself
of the scrapheap
At sixteen you were top of your class
All they taught you at school
Was how to be a good worker
The system has failed you, don't fail yourself
Doesn't mean I'm lazy
Just because you're going forwards
Doesn't mean I'm going backwards
At twenty one you're on top of the scrapheap
At sixteen you were
chucked on the scrapheap
The union have accepted it, the party have accepted it
And they've made know to us that under no uncertain terms
That we've
on the factory floor
They've boarded the windows and have chained up the gates
And have padlocked the factory door
Now I'm on the scrap-heap, and I'm thirty-nine
on to of the scrapheap
At sixteen you were top of the class
All they taught you at school
Was how to be a good worker
The system has failed you, don't fail yourself
All the same
If parts aren't going spare
To fix a heart in disrepair
I'll see you at the scrapheap
Just call my name
You've gotta dust it off
Don't let
Take a boy and a girl
And put 'em in a bedsit
Add a child to their world
Watch them fall apart
Take a boy with a job
And put him on the scrapheap
13. You Pays Your Dues (You Takes Your Chances)
You pays your dues
And you takes your chances
It's a slow torturous path
To the top of the scrapheap
down... down
Put grandpa out to pasture, over sixty-five
Toss him on scrapheap, why is he alive?
No one needs him anyway, put him in a place
Once more

those people were saying: 'you're on the scrap-heap, you're useless', and I remember how easy it was to start believing that. I remember how you'd hear
the government says goodbye
They throw them on the scrapheap and leave them to die
As soon as you're no use the government will say goodbye
They're throw you
the government says goodbye
They throw them on the scrapheap and leave them to die
As soon as you're no use the government will say goodbye
They're throw you

Robotic teachers are so cheap,
We’ve all ended up on the scrap-heap,
And now it’s hard just keeping warm.
We should have seen it all along.
on the scrapheap
Fishbowl all around his head
Five-hole right between his legs again
Don't just stand there breakaway from the game
Here we go again
Here we go!
The space between two worlds
From the scrapheaps outside the grey towns
The silence from the vacant shops
From the stacked up prisons of hollowed out glass
on the scrapheap
Like so many left behind
The need for human labour wains as population soars
Will they still owe us a living?
What are we working towards?
veins
Tormented howls in a nowheretown, in a nowheretown
Gomez the failed slugger hits one last ground ball
The last hit of a nothing career
Scrapheap
"heil"
You CIA-bred necrophile
No Russkies left to rail at, not for now
But the Slavs in their millions
With their scrapheaps of children
Must replace your
cost ya extra, take it or leave it
A lense's special way, in a scrapheap it lay
You think it over, I've got all day
Visual manipulation or sexual tension
(Intro:)
Gather up, everybody!
Find a comfy spot to sit on in this scrapheap!
Because the night is long, and I have tales to tell you all.
