All wrapped up in your cozy world 
Watch TV out in the cold 
Switch the channel, stop and stare 
About the dole, you don’t care 
Think you’re secure in your boring job 
Thatcher’s policy, the right to rob 
Government takes never gives 
4 years on, nothing’s achieved 
 [bad word] 
Think you’re secure don’t know why 
Lose your job then you’ll cry 
Government cutbacks saving billions 
On the dole, now one of the millions 

See yourself in ten years time 
Standing in the dole queue line 
Been told that it won’t happen to you 
Big boss says so, must be [bad word] 
All week long you’ll fret yourself 
Thinking you’ll end up on the shelf 
Been off sick had the flu 
You go back and it’s happened to you
