Instead of pushing for a better life

They're seen to push a pram

Have to respect their dedication

What it means to be a man

Or that's the plan

Guzzles down his problems

With a rollie and a can

Boys will leg it when all he needed was a hand

Always have the craic with pat-to-see

Improving his night

With a minute in revelry

Another broken melody

Well that's just an analogy and I've got two more

Eyes red from cycling as his mam opened that door

Starry night tonight and there's stars in his eyes

Hurry up to bed before his dad sees him cry

Cuz his father was the proudest man in the pub

Cuz he won the dart champs three times in a row

But that's all you know

Until he get's home

Slamming doors behind him

To stop the demons inside him

From escaping

A man never cries well tonight I'm just waiting

Devil at the door

Where's your soul?

I need trading

I need care

Cuz there's more fading inside him than his fucking hair

He's just another scumbag

He's just another scumbag

He's just another scumbag

He's just another scumbag

Only release was the peace from the streets

Lonely disown me

Just hold me to a piece in your hand

Then I start to drip and fall through you like sand

Cuz he was as hard as rock

But got broken down

Never learned to swim

But could drown in the ground

Handful of sins just for a penny and a pound

Cuz he was a king in his mind

But he was never even crowned

Best he ever got was 'yeah, nice one man, sound'

Knew a lot of people

But not a lot of friends

Tied a lot of baggies

But not those loose ends

Had a girl and a son but

Never knew his mum

Too many bends in his road

He knew he'd end up a chum

Get his fix from the clinic

Eat a Twix in the Civic

Baby crying, denying he's truly living

Cuz he's worth more than this

Wouldn't miss this

No such fucking thing as Christmas

Just another day

Love that he would bring to his missus

But lovers never say

Brothers dismissed his viciousness

At times he would pray

But he was never into religiousness

Just respect

That's why he wore a silver cross

Around his neck

Had it snatched and sold for crack and gold

Thought the only craic was in the pub

Need a snack get some grub

Where's the money?

Not enough

Fuck it I need some love

Cuz when times were tough

He'd fly his white flag

Diamond in the rough

He's just another scumbag

He's just another scumbag

He's just another scumbag

He's just another scumbag

He's just another scumbag

He's just another scumbag

He's just another scumbag

He's just another scumbag
