Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I'm council house and violent

I'm laughing at the tyrants

I'm sleeping under sirens

Whilst wondering where the time went

I'm scum

I'm scum

Yeah

[Verse 2]

I'll sing at fascists 'till my head comes off

I am Dennis Skinner's molotov

I'm lefty, I'm soft

I'm minimum wage job

I am a mongrel dog

I'm just another cog

I'm scum

I'm scum

Yeah

[Verse 3]

This snowflake's an avalanche

[Verse 4]

Dirty, rotten, filthy scum

For a long old while I've known I'm

Dirty, rotten, filthy scum

For a long old while I've known I'm

Scum, I'm scum

Yeah

[Verse 5]

Spit in your percolator

I am procrastinator

I over-tip the waiter

Sarcastic amputator

'Cause I'm scum

I'm scum

Yeah!

[Verse 6]

I don't care about the next James Bond

He kills for country, Queen and God

We don't need another murderous toff

I'm just wondering where the high street's gone

'Cause I'm scum

I'm scum

Yeah

[Verse 7]

This snowflake's an avalanche

[Verse 8]

Dirty, rotten, filthy scum

For a long old while I've known I'm

Dirty, rotten, filthy scum

For a long old while I've known I'm

Scum

For a long old while I've known I'm

Scum

For a long old while I've known I'm

Scum

For a long old while I've known I'm

Scum
