if that's what you think we're worth by oldrottenhead

[Oldrottenhead]

this one is for Jim Ratcliffe and his like.

you hear the pitter patter
of the happy ever after
fade into the night
and where there once was laughter
well everything got darker
you're never gonna see the light
they're pulling down the shutters
and sending home their workers
they say that they don't need you
don't want you
well you thought that you where streetwise
but now you're disenfranchised
you got no more to lose
well the world was once your oyster
but you got that all wrong sir
and now you sing the blues
they're pulling down the shutters
and sending home their workers
they say that they don't need you
don't want you
if that's what you think we're worth
you can keep it all
if that's what you think of us
well you can go to hell
well i worry for the young uns
cos we have left them nothing
to look forward to
yeah they think that they're all streetwise
but we know they're disenfranchised
they got no more to lose
they're pulling down the shutters
and sending home their workers
they say that they don't need you
don't want you
if that's what you think we're worth
you can keep it all
if that's what you think of us
well you can go to hell

if that's what you think we're worth

This to me Jim is the stuff you do so well, the care and compassion are in the voice and the whole song is for me perfect.  Roscoe
