Annie's Angle

I was a stoned drunk silhouette of my
past I lost my nerves when he took me on
He was this high-healed smooth talking
middleclass bastard Who tried to stab me
for where I was from And though his
words was covered in yesterdays mud The
boys around him laugh his way But on the
parking lot where I was born He didn’t
come to play No he didn’t dare to stay
You think you’re better than us You
think you’re better than who You think
you’re better than Annie’s angle You
think you’re down with the people who
laugh when you frown And then move from
ground to ground You think you’re better
than us You think you’re better than who
You think you’re talking to Annie’s
angle You think you’re down with the
people who laugh when you frown And then
move from ground to ground Such a pit no
one’s hurt from your punch Must be a
drag to look so debased On the other
side you’ve still got your kids to die
for So why take it all out on me That
angry look doesn’t suite your face
You’ve got your medals in a box And on
the telly there’s this leader saying –
Blame it on the boss You’ve got to blame
it on the boss You think you’re better…
