Not the Only One

My father always said to me You gotta work hard Provide for your family I thought that he was right (Alright) Then I got myself a trade For a working class boy It's the only way I'll ever Earn a decent wage But around me, I see a lot of poverty Underpaid workers being threatened With refundency You can have it all and then it's gone Please say I'm not the only one You can have it all and then it's gone Please say I'm not the only one And it doesn't sit right with me No, it doesn't sit right with me I read about 1831 What the men and women of Merthyr had done They were screaming for their rights (Their rights) It's a new year now, but nothing's changed The working class just want a decent wage And we'll keep up the fight I can't believe what I see It's a middle class soapbox Talking right at me But they don't speak for me (Not me) I won't waste my time politicking When it's time for action I'll be there kicking We won't fade away No way You can have it all and then it's gone Please say I'm not the only one You can have it all and then it's gone Please say I'm not the only one And it doesn't sit right with me No, it doesn't sit right with me Look around, what do I see? Our people in grips of poverty I ask myself, what can I do? Cause I know we deserve better I know it's true So when you're feeling down on your luck Like you're down and now you Don't give a fuck Remember, brother, I've been there before We will survive and we will get through You can have it all and then it's gone And I know I'm not the only one No, I won't stop singing this song 'Cause I know I'm not the only one You can have it all and then it's gone And I know I'm not the only one No, I won't stop singing this song Cause I know I'm not the only one We might be down, but we're never out We might be down, but we're never out We might be down, but we're never out We might be down But we're never fucking out
