I'm seeking after celebrity-
If she can get it, why not me?
I'd be grateful for the extra cash
Merely for pictures of me out on the lash.

I've heard them say that money is tight
So why succumb to a painful fight?
Better to be on the dole- Good idea!
I'll have an income throughtout the year!

I might try philosophy, which will link
With my ability to think...
Then I can sit there every day
And maybe someone will give me pay!

I wonder if I could get rich
By lying, motionless in a ditch,
Perhaps I'd be seen as a jerk
Who doesn't recognise the value of work?

Well, nevermind, they'd all be green
Green with jealousy, I mean!
Education? No point! You won't get work!
Just sit at home, lie back and shirk!

Some poor sucker on a nine til five
Will keep the whole of Britain alive!
Just remember the motto: take, take, take!
Oh what a society that would make!
