la,la,la,la...
Saturday's boys live life with insults,
Drink lots of beer and wait for half-time results.
Afternoon tea in the lite-a-bite,
Chat up the girls, they dig it!
Saturday's girls work in Tesco's and Woolworths,
Wear chep perfume cos it's all they can afford.
Got to discos they drink Babycham,
Talk to Jan - in bingo accents.
La la la...
Saturday's kids play on one arm bandits,
They never win, but that's not the point is it?
Get themselves a paper when their pints go flat,
How about that? - Far out, man!
Their mums and dads smoke Capstan non-filters,
Wallpaper lives cos they all die of cancer,
What goes on? - what goes wrong?
Save up their money for a holiday,
To Selsey Bill or Bracklesham Bay,
Think about the future - when they'll settle down
Marry the girl next door - with one on the way.
These are the real creatures that time has forgot,
Not given a thought.
It's the system - hate the system - what's the syste - m?
Oh.
Saturday's kids live in council houses, wear V-neck shirts and baggy trousers,
Saturday's kids live in council houses, wear V-neck shirts and baggy trousers.
Drive Cortina's fur trimmed dashboard,
Stains on the seats - in the back of course!
la, la, la
