Simple Simon went down to his local DSS
They said "do you want money?" he answered them "yes"
They said "you'll get no money so just you go away"
"Do you think that we are paying you to work or just to play"
"You've got to prove you're looking for employment" they said
"You don't just think we're paying you for staying home in bed
"Four million unemployed in this country alone
So Simple Simon get a job, or just go home"
Simple Simon met a pieman going to the fair
Said simple Simon to the pieman "let me taste your wares"
Said the pieman to Simon "let me see your penny"
Said Simon to the pieman "no, indeed i have not any"

You blind yourself to the real truth
You know you can't tell wrong from right
You're gonna cut your soul in two
You've got to get out of this fucking shite
You're in a mess and your brain's fogged over
And you want to sing and shout it
You want to change the world for the better
So you better do something about it
Go and do something with your life
Godmade you for a reason
Settle for something now, you'll settle for anything
Use the brain you've been given
You're in a mess and your brain's fogged over
And you want to sing and shout it
You want to change the world for the better
So you better do something about it
So you want to change the world, for the better...

I'm just so funny, and i get laughed at
I don't get no money, 'cos i'm just not fast
Enough for the public, and i feel so unattractive
They say i'm sick, but i deserve to live
And i love myself but i don't know what to do about my great big nose
And i love myself better than you
And i love myself but i don't know what to do about my great big nose
And i love myself better than you
None of them like me, they don't think i'm cool
they're scared i'm too free, would love to kill me as a rule
Nobody loves me ah ah ah, everybody hates me, ah ah
Think i'll go and eat eat worms
And i love myself but i don't know what to do about my great big nose
And i love myself better than you
And i love myself but i don't know what to do
And i love myself better than you
Boo hoo, boo hoo, boo hoo!

Look into my eyes and i'll show you something
Don't take away my flies and don't jump on a spring
I wanna kill myself and i don't wanna play computer anymore
Eat more tobacco and never go out to play
Watch your own hand grow and throw yourself away
I wanna kill myself and i don't wanna play computer anymore
Sing a sad song and give yourself a plan
Find a shoe where you belong and telephone a man
I wanna kill myself and i don't wanna play computer anymore

Walking down the main street of somebody else's life
Filling in the space in somebody else's wife
Don't it really bug you when i get under your skin?
But the more that you get riled, the more i will begin
To bug you (to such a degree)
To such a degree (to such a degree that you kill me)
Giving out the shit that nobody else deserves
Killing all the love that somebody's life preserves
I'm a first degree bastard and i couldn't give a damn
you can take my middle finger, and you know where you can cram it
To bug you (to such a degree)
To such a degree (to such a degree that you kill me)

I used to be a genius but now i'm cured
thought i was alive but i was just fooled
Freeloader, you're no good for anyone
And maybe it will rain today, it's anybody's guess
I think i'll run away and die just like the rest, but
Freeloader, you're no good for anyone
Will you tell me what i want to hear? (want to hear)
Come closer but don't get too near (don't get too near)
Will you tell me what i want to hear? (want to hear)
Come closer but don't get too near
I know i should have really tried to cry upon your shoulder
But as the time passed by i just seemed to get older
Freeloader, you're no good for anyone
If things are different now, you know i'm truly sorry
I tried too hard and things fell down around me
Freeloader, you're no good for anyone
Will you tell me what i want to hear? (want to hear)
Come closer but don't get too near (don't get too near)
Will you tell me what i want to hear? (want to hear)
Come closer but don't get too near
Now we know just what we know, it isn't very much
I'm not sure what i can do to try and stop the rust
Freeloader, you're no good for anyone
Will you tell me what i want to hear? (want to hear)
Come closer but don't get too near (don't get too near)
Will you tell me what i want to hear? (want to hear)
Come closer but don't get too near
