Remember back in the day, work was tough to find Now its impossible, if you don't have a skill A lot of the youngsters, have given up the fight Costs of today have already broken their will Chorus Pensions too small Backs to the wall Can't face the day There must be a way Bridge Can't afford the rents anymore Forced to move onto the street Debt collectors knocking at our door The future's looking very bleak Verse 3. With nowhere safe that we can call our home And no hope for a life on the land What are we expected to do for ourselves When there's so many of us needing a hand Chorus Pensions too small Backs to the wall Can't face the day What a price we pay Verse 4. Surely someone is out there to listen Who can see the struggle we're in We can't all be living the same nightmare We all need the help to begin Final Chorus Pensions too small Backs to the wall Can't face the day What a price we pay Outro How many more must fall? Before somebody hears our call.
