To Have And To Have Not

To Have And To Have Not - Lars Frederiksen And The Bastards

Written by：B. Bragg

Up in the morning and out to school

Mother says there be no work next year

Quantifications once the golden rule

Are now just pieces of paper

Just because you're better than me doesn't mean I'm lazy

Just because you're going forwards doesn't mean

I'm going backwards

Well if you look the part well then you'll get the job

In last year's trousers and your old school shoes

The truth is son it's a buyer's market

They can afford to pick and choose

Just because you're better than me doesn't mean I'm lazy

Just because I dress like

This doesn't mean I'm a

Communist

Well the factory's are closing and the army's full

I don't know what I'm going to do

But I've come to see in the land of

The free there's only room for a chosen few

Just because you're better than me doesn't mean I'm lazy

Just because you're going forwards

Doesn't mean I'm going backwards

Well at 21 you're atop of the scrap heap

At 16 you were top of your class

Well I dropped outta high school in Campbell Calofornia

Got a guitar and I never looked back

Just because you're better than me doesn't mean I'm lazy

Just because I dress like

This doesn't mean I'm a

Communist
