Lyrics

(And I wonder)

How many we are,
Cleaning buildings, train stations.
Everywhere to get by,
What I'm saying to your conscience now.
Directors, managers, ministers,
Our salary isn't' enough, to live through the month.

Do you think about us?

Pensez a nous,
Spare us a thought
Help to make our work pay.
Support Living wage

The job we've done as you start your day,
Do you think about it?
Spare us a thought,
Support Living Wage

Pensez a nous,
Spare us a thought
Help to make our work pay.
Support Living wage

Everybody's, living in poverty
And seeing people struggling just bothers me
They got us fighting like wrestling for that six one nine but,
That ain't gonna help me settle in, our -

Kids sitting at home hungry, tell me,
Why won't you fund me?
I'm tired of being poor,
But they still leave me out in the storm.

Life's hard, when you have no money
Have no food sitting at home hungry
I'm all alone sunny at
Home mad cos Dad's pay don't fund me

No heating so it's another cold night,
Visions of me sitting with some people on a boat
Writing rhymes about places people wanna go, I'm
Stuck up on the road side where the money's low right.

Pensez a nous,
Spare us a thought
Help to make our work pay.
