I´m waiting, i´m waiting for the tram to come.
I´m late, i´m late again i´m sorry mom.
The money spent on taxes seem to end up in the hands
of people who have gone to far to get a second chance.
And even though I feel like i´m a chump without a clue
I go to work and pay my taxes, mom, I promise you.
-chorus-
We´re the model citizens of Babylon.
We´re the margin-dwellers and the moral front.
-
I´m spending my spare time contemplating this
The leeches that suck society are close to bliss.
And even though I know that nice guys always finish last
I dig up all the shallow graves I carry in my past.
I just cant help the feeling that I get, it resembles shame.
Oh,daddy help me now when it is hard to carry your name.
(this song is pretty straight forward in it´s lyrics and that is because it has got a political message .I´ve got this friend who uses the Swedish well-fair system in a real ugly way, and it made me so pissed of and at the same time I felt like an idiot for not being as scroupless as he was. To quote Rancid “you´re caught up, you´re brought up in a system that is going wrong”.)
