State Vs Jeeves

You're on benefits

We're all providing for you

From the streets that we sweep to the lights while she sleeps

Is there anything else we can do?

You're on welfare

Welfare is part of your life

It's the use we forget to the tax breach you get

For yourself, your children, and wife

One thing you know from your head to your toe

The confusion that this life achieves

Hate yourself, man don't get even

'Cause it's always been State vs. Jeeves

You're in poverty

Poverty is more than a wage

It's the team you support, it's the records you bought

It's the news that you read on your page

We're all claimers

Claiming a place on this earth

From the park you were pushed to the midwife who pushed

The scream on the day of your birth

One thing you know from your head to your toe

The confusion that this life achieves

Hate yourself, man don't get even

'Cause it's always been State vs. Jeeves

We're on scratch cards

Scratching like chickens through dust

Peckin' our way through the shit and the hay

And the feeling it's this life or bust

It's that hoodie you wear and that look of despair

As the chambermaid catches the feeves

It's that hate of the state when you're having your plate

Polished and refilled by Jeeves

And one thing you know from your head to your toe

The confusion that this life achieves

Hate yourself, man don't get even

'Cause it's always been State vs. Jeeves

Oh, State vs. Jeeves

State vs. Jeeves

Oh, State vs. Jeeves

One thing you know

Head to your toes

State vs. Jeeves

Ooh, ooh, oh
