The thing though is this
men, women, children even terrorists
are dying at sea, hungry cold and desperate
all fleeing war, oppression and lack of opportunities
the whole of Europe is in uproar, we are being overrun
but refugees are deaf, for to them they are going to earth's paradise
none seeks to rob or steal, just shelter, peace and any job at all to earn

The thing though is this
make as much excuses as you like
blame birth, class, location, socialization and chances
a white working class family, with Welfare and other benefits
who then chooses to drink all day and steals and robe to manage
in a kingdom that millions know provides for its inhabitants always
call it judgmental but that thieving family are truly nothing but scums

The thing though is this
face facts and reality and not fantasy
life is hard, rich or poor, we all have crosses to bear
yes, some are fortunate and have easier rides, its all a toss
most know its all about working honestly just to survive and feed
so why decide to drink benefits and then go burgle others who work
if not a lowdown ***** ****, a disgraceful shameless pride-less loser

The thing though is this
I spoke up and I will do it again, simple
Ruin my life, isolate me and bully and torment me all you like
I still have my pride, my integrity and my honor for am no thief
I am no white with opportunities to survive who becomes a burglar
in a kingdom where there's help for the needy and chances to earn
Men, women n children are dying for the merest basic opportunity

The thing though is this
Harass me and run me out of town
for speaking truth that thieves are workshy disgraceful scums
scroungers, drunkards, wastrels abusing the system and workers
who sweat and toil and keep on the straight and narrow always
I did and never took a penny in Welfare until the gang-stalkers ills
the thing is this, you can do your worst, own the stench of your guilts
