To Have and to Have not lyrics

Up in the morning and out to school Mother says there be no work next year Quantifications once the Golden Rule are now just pieces of paper Just because you're better than me doesn't mean I'm lazy. Just because you're going forwards doesn't mean I'm going backwards. Well if you look the part well then you'll get the job in last year's trousers and your oldschool shoes The truth is son it's a buyer's market they can afford to pick and choose Just because you're better than me doesn't mean I'm lazy Just because I dress like this doesn't mean I'm a Communist. Well the factory's are closing and the army's full I don't know what I'm going to do But I've come to see in the land of the free There's only room for a chosen few Just because you're better than me doesn't mean I'm lazy Just because you're going forwards doesn't mean I'm going backwards Well at 21 you're atop of the scrap heap At 16 you were top of your class Well I dropped outta high school in Campbell, CA Got a guitar and I never looked back Just because you're better than me doesn't mean I'm lazy Just because I dress like this doesn't mean I'm a Communist.
