Unemployment life on the dole
No work for me no work at all
City and slums and poverty too
Hanging about with nothing to do
This is your life
Go on back now nobody cares
Just carry on with their own affairs
And when someone else starts something bad
Remember the trouble they've always had
This is your life
No red tape, no red book
Eamon Andrews don't give up
Boredom boredom in your minds
Hey you punks this is your life
No work for me no work at all
City and slums and poverty too
Hanging about with nothing to do
This is your life
Go on back now nobody cares
Just carry on with their own affairs
And when someone else starts something bad
Remember the trouble they've always had
This is your life
No red tape, no red book
Eamon Andrews don't give up
Boredom boredom in your minds
Hey you punks this is your life
