Ratchet - Community Outcast lyrics

[Intro] Devlin...Community Outcast...And this one's for all the characters that have been forgotten in the present time... [Verse 1] I represent for the jobless, that have been made redundant That have got four kids and don't know how to fund em' Ever since the wife and her husband Both lost their jobs at the office in london Now they feel financially trapped Now are locked with rats in a dindgy old dungeon Take this young father of two Signing on and the government says that his family are spongers He's like "Damn man We ain't got a penny or a pound Let alone money for milk And nappies and trainers and jumpers" He got taken off site cause it's cheaper To pay Europeans to labour in numbers How's he gonna take care of his youngers? [Hook] I represent to the people Let down by a nation And left in the streets where it's evil Little kids surrounded by knives and h**n needles I represent to the people Let down by a nation And left on the streets where it's evil Community outcast, cold, tired and feeble [Verse 2] I represent for the homeless Let down by a nation More interested in war and invasion When children are sleeping at railway stations No home or money They wish they could phone their mummy To put a hot meal in their tummy So at night when the temperature drops I'm asking you, remember what you got These kids go home to a cardboard box They're the sole survivors Warming their hands with a flickering flame of their lighters All their life they've been frightened Walk the streets with their head down Knowing deep down inside that they've really been let down By a country that's crippled And I thought mankind was supposed to be civil [Hook] [Verse 3] I represent single Mums All alone on their own trying to put food in the mouths of her two sons And the fathers gone, there's no cash flow, lack of income But that's just the way it is She counts fifteen needles pushing her pram on the way to the lift And this is where Brown said it's safe to live and raise kids She finds her way out of the block With two kids in a pram and a rip and a stain in her top She goes to sign on just to maintain the little she's got For her kids sake They'll never see a decent life But they can dream and they'll sleep tonight They've been hung out and left to dry The kids are in bed, Mums left to cry [Hook] [Verse 4] I represent for the old folk, that live alone No family or kids at home And all he wants is someone to speak to but nobody thinks to phone Sits at home in the dark, no electric Since his wife pa**ed, he can't accept it He feels isolated, neglected And now his council flats infested So he goes to the shop for his papers With a stick and he falls in the mud The people around him all pulled him up But to him that's just a reminder He's old and he's weak with no one to love I see clouds up above Another bad day in the diary An old man one of many k**ed by society, strangled quietly [Hook X2]
