This Is What You Get (Landlord Blues)

You go to work each day, wear your blisters raw
Come home late to a note on the door

This is what you get (x3)
When you can’t pay your landlord

You work a job all day and another at night
Just to feed the kids and keep on the lights

This is what you get (x3)
When you can’t pay your landlord

The bills go up, the bills go up
Pay stays the same but the bills go up
The bills go up, the bills go up
Pay stays the same but the bills go up

The government says there’s no magic tree
Cant shake none down, there’s won’t be enough for me

This is what you get (x3)
When you can’t pay your landlord

The bills go up, the bills go up
Pay stays the same but the bills go up
The bills go up, the bills go up
Pay stays the same but the bills go up

I can’t turn on the lights AND turn on the heatin’
I suppose it’s my fault, I didn’t go to Eton

This is what you get (x3)
When you can’t pay your landlord
