lyrics

Checkmate useless shoplifter
Done for flogging food
Part poor choice, part poverty
Part nothing left to lose
Hand on back, Oi unload coat
Here's embarrassment to gain
Now the game of justice
Now the catholic guilt and blame

Some offered sympathy
Some offered me a feed
When outside feeling alien
A good choice is hard to see
The whip of shames our culture
It’s hard to ask for help
Some see the things that influence
Some say simply 'blame yourself'

Hunger hung as reason
Among a blank list of options
Sometimes it seems impossible
To know that you have got them
This common life your own your own
No place you trust to turn
Then the lessons of desperation
Are the tricks that you will learn
One chance at young and spiny
I put myself in front of risk
Basic needs then intervened
Cos life is more than punk or piss
When hardship lands on hungry ground
It's more than poverty of coin
A poverty of trust and choice
To grasp that hopeful line.
