Knock, Knock

from What Comes Next. by Felonies

lyrics

Remember when you said
"Clean your room, Make your bed,
Study hard, Get a degree"
And then you fucked with me
"Get a big job and a big house,
Marry a wife, and have a kid, and a family"
Fallacy
Don't be caught dead working minimal wage
You'll be living with Mammy and Daddy 'til you're thirty three
Guards in Ballies are perceived as credible
And landlords make sure your doors are impregnable

I'm just looking for a place my head can lay,
They all like to shout he's too broken stay away
I'm just looking for some space, space to end the day
They all like to shout just a token stay away
I just want people to listen to what I say
They all like to shout not smart enough stay away
I just wanna win the race, Youth to berate
They all like to shout, they're all fucked stay away.

One Two, Three Four
Knocks at the door
Oh shit, landlord, back for some more
Cash it's time the rent is ude
Up four percent cause he can do
All that he wants cause he knows you've
Bitten off more than you can chew

We were promised it all
Yet no-ones making the call
They say that things will get better
If we just go hell for leather
And study aimlessly and everynight despite the fact
That every man and woman is in a constant fight
And I'll be damned if I'm to die
Without a home to call my own
I'll ask the question once again
Since when are we not human?

I'm just looking for a place my head can lay,
They all like to shout he's too broken stay away
I'm just looking for some space, space to end the day
They all like to shout just a token stay away
I just want people to listen to what I say
They all like to shout not smart enough stay away
I just wanna win the race, Youth to berate
They all like to shout, they're all fucked stay away.
