lyrics

Well it's not workin'
Because I'm not workin'

Well it's not workin'
Because I'm not workin'

Don't think I can do
Both of these things
Both of these things
Both of these things

But ones more vital than (The other, the other, the other)
But I can't be bothered (The other, the other, the other)
But I can't be both- (The other, the other, the other)
But I can't be bothered
But I can't be both-
But I can't be both-

Next thing you know
For whatever reason
I'm on the streets and
I'm not a broken-hearted man
I'm just homeless
For my incompetence
I have been punished by the laws of physics

And though I know I'm not to blame
For any mistakes I might have made
I still feel quite shit 'cause I got no home
And I'm freezing cold

Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-ohh, oh-ohh, oh-ohh

I didn't know
I didn't know how to give myself
I didn't know how to give myself the perfect life

And what you might say
Is that I need to get off my backside
Put in some graft I-
Just need to work an honest job

But what's so perfect
About a life of
Labour

And though admittedly
All these thoughts are just in my head
I won't be laughing anymore
When I'm on the floor half dead
In the streets somewhere 'cause I
Didn't want to apply my mind

I just couldn't be
I just couldn't be
I just couldn't be
I just couldn't be
Both-
I just couldn't be
Both-
