Lyrics: Thraves Thraveson        Music: Colin Whyles

I'll choose the easy life
No hard work for me
I'll not slave for forty years
To raise a family

(Chorus)

'Cause I'm a child of the Welfare State
No need to work or save
I'll do nothing all my life
The modern kind of slave

My parents paid for everything
The state will now provide
Unless I find a wealthy girl
Who I can make my bride

My children, numerous as I like,
Will live in luxury
Supported by the benefit
Not a penny comes from me

I'll steal and lie and cheat and rob
To get my hands on cash
And spend it all on drink and drugs
And never keep a stash

When I am old and weak and ill
In trouble with my vision
I'll complain the State has let me down
And failed in its provision
