State Vs Jeeves
You're on benefits
We're all providing for you
From the streets that we sweep to the lights while she sleep
Is there anything else we can do?
You're on welfare
And welfare is part of your life
It's the use we forget to the tax breach you get
For yourself, your children, and wife
And one thing you know from your head to your toe
The confusion that this life achieves
Hate yourself, man don't get even
Cause it's always been State vs. Jeeves
You're in poverty
Poverty is more than a wage
It's the team you support, it's the records you bought
It's the news that you read on your page
We're all claimers
Claiming a place on this earth
From the park you were pushed to the midwife who pushed The scream on the day of your birth
And one thing you know from your head to your toe
The confusion that this life achieves
Hate yourself, man don't get even

Cause it's always been State vs. Jeeves
We're on scratch cards
Scratching like chickens through dust
Peckin' our way through the shit and the hay
And the feeling it's this life or bust
It's that hoodie you wear and that look of despair
As the chambermaid catches the feeves
It's that hate of the state when you're having your plate
Polished and refilled by Jeeves
And one thing you know from your head to your toe
The confusion that this life achieves
Hate yourself, man don't get even
Cause it's always been State vs. Jeeves
Oh, State vs. Jeeves...
State vs. Jeeves...
Oh, State vs. Jeeves...
One thing you know...
Head to your toes...
State vs. Jeeves
Ooh, ooh, oh...
