I'll send the bullets shooting back your way
I'll give my life from day to day
Ain't got no work, I got bills to pay
I don't give a damn, keep out of my way

I had a job once, a happy family
But now they're gone and I'm ok
I used to love life, now I've gone astray
Is this the price that I must pay
Welfare warrior

I walk the streets now, my home is on my back
The sky is clear, my mind is black
A welfare warrior, fighting to survive
I need a job to stay alive

I'll fight the system, I won't go down this way
You brought me here, so now you pay
I'm not a broken man, I must have my say
It's tough out here, get out of my face
Welfare warrior

I sleep in the spotlight
My clothes are ripped and torn
Oh, I use the leaves to keep me warm
Love's left the gods of war
The government must fall
Let chaos reign to end it all

I had a job once, a happy family
But now they're gone and I'm ok
I used to love life, now I've gone astray
Is this the price that I must pay
Welfare warrior

Get out of my way
I'm a welfare warrior
