OXYMORON
- Hey You Lyrics / with translationsThere's boiling masses on the dole.
The same came off some years ago.
What a prospect for my country.
So give up and hope and let us be.
Join the queue, you know the rest...
I'm fed up with this want something else.
Give the finger to this country.
And listen well to what I say.
[Chorus:]
Hey, hey, I wanna have some fun.
Hey, hey, cause I've been bored too long.
Hey, hey, I'm gonna feel so great.
When I'm skint and out tonight.
Pretty worn out, waiting for the bus.
That's departing straight down to the pubs.
But I'm out of place where I stay.
Nowhere to go 'cause I'm skint.
The same came off some years ago.
What a prospect for my country.
So give up and hope and let us be.
Join the queue, you know the rest...
I'm fed up with this want something else.
Give the finger to this country.
And listen well to what I say.
[Chorus:]
Hey, hey, cause I've been bored too long.
Hey, hey, I'm gonna feel so great.
When I'm skint and out tonight.
Pretty worn out, waiting for the bus.
That's departing straight down to the pubs.
But I'm out of place where I stay.
Nowhere to go 'cause I'm skint.
