PHOTOS OF THE TIRED lyrics

PHOTOS OF THE TIRED

A scowl across my face
we travel before the successful
we the African Princes come toilet cleaners
We the tired Polish whores
We the Indian lawyers come security guards

We disgruntled English forced out of jobs once secure
a big fuck you by a failed schooling two decades before
all together knackered
all together now
We'll walk these roads together
Fucking hell

Chorus

One day we will be successful
one day we'll succeed


in fathers eyes a failure
a drunk a fool
one day i'll photgraph the tired early in the morn
one day a bacon sandwich won't seem a luxury
Starbucks an irresponsible indolgence to me

and i will return one day to white sheets
and clean carpets
i'll return successful to my palace
give a shit
and flick crumbs on the floor.
