Song that gives me hope

John was given a free CD at a conference recently, called Do It Yourself, I'll probably blog about it on Radio Clash blog but the one song, the first in ages, that perks me up at work and gives me hope is by The Seven Inches - Cashback. You can apparently hear it here at Last.fm.

It's the lyrics:

Successful people look down and sneer at you
Just cos they have a brilliant career or two
Mostly you have nowt but contempt for them
They might be rich but it don't make em gentlemen

20 telegrams from your Aunt Dahlia
Insinuating that you are a failure
And your parents they pinned all their hopes on you
As if you failing would make them failures too

You try and try til at last you don't succeed
You work your hands and your fingers til they bleed
You gave years of your life to the company
Who left you screaming 'WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME?'

Work is no reason to eat yourself up
Work has no reason at all
Work is no reason to eat yourself up
Work has no reason at all


Brilliant...and it gets better :-D

Interestingly the next track was Communist Cooking by Eric Idle. Maybe my iPod is telling my something.
