To Have and To Have Not - Billy Bragg


Intro:  G C G  Em D G (x2)

G                     C      G
Up in the morning and out to school
Em                         D         G
Mother says there'll be no work next year.
G                       C      G
Qualifications once the golden rule
Em             D       G
are now just pieces of paper.

G                   C           G  
Just because you are better than me,
Em              D    G
doesn't mean that I'm lazy.
G                   C     G
Just because you are going forwards
Em              D     G
doesn't mean I'm going backwards.



If you look the part, you'll get the job
in last year's trousers and your old school shoes.
The truth is son, it's a buyer's market
they can't afford to pick and choose.

Just because you're better than me,
doesn't mean that I'm lazy.
Just because I dress like this,
doesn't mean I'm a communist.

The factories are closing and the army's full
I don't know what I'm going to do.
But I've come to see that in the land of the free
there's only a future for the chosen few.

Just because you're better than me
doesn't mean that I'm lazy.
Just because you are going forwards
doesn't mean I'm going backwards

At twenty-one you're on top of the scrap heap
at sixteen you were top of the class.
All they taught you in school was how to be a good worker
the system has failed you, don't fail yourself!

Just because you are better than me
doesn't mean that I'm lazy.
Just because you're going forwards
doesn't mean I'm going backwards.
