lyrics

What's wrong mister you seem a bit uptight not always can things go just right
A bad start can be hard to shake sometimes even hard to take
It's not like you didn’t try your best it's not like you wouldn’t pass no test
When the hammer falls and the day is done you can go home knowing the sun has shown

It's not bad for a country job

Serve your time serve that apprentice the tricks of the trade are in the experience
Listen up close put, down that pen perhaps someday you’ll be training some men
The weekly wage just isn't enough the bills at home are pretty tough
Up and up, you raise them up I'm not sure that they’ll ever drop

It's not bad for a country job
It's not bad for a country job
It's not bad………………….. People in this country vote but don't get no say
This country's direction its living days

So minister for finance how do you sleep next to all that power and greed?
Giving to the rich what you're taking from the poor all that money your keeping for sure
And minister are you getting your five a day?
Your blood's flowing but you're turned the other way
Election year you conquered the race but your mam never thought you no family grace
