Slaves to the system, there's no way out
Slaves to the system, do you have a shout?
You've got to beat the bastards, beat 'em now!
Sick of policies puting me down

Beat the bastards, beat 'em now
Beat the bastards, beat 'em now
Beat the bastards, beat 'em now

Just out of school, don't have a clue
No income support for you
Can't get a job, don't get a chance
Sick of politics leaving me out

Beat the bastards, beat 'em now
Beat the bastards, beat 'em now
Beat the bastards, beat 'em now

Money, money, power and streight
Teenage kids with nothing to spend
Hungry homeless, who gives a shit?
Sick of policies leaving me out

Beat the bastards, beat 'em now
Beat the bastards, beat 'em now
Beat the bastards, beat 'em now

You've got to beat the bastards, beat the bastards,
Beat the bastards, you've got to beat the bastards,
Beat the bastards, you've got to beat the bastards,
You've got to beat the bastards,
You've got to beat the bastards, beat the bastards

Slaves to the system, there's no way out
Slaves to the system, do you have a shout?
You've got to beat the bastards, beat 'em now!
Sick of policies puting me down

Beat the bastards, beat 'em now
Beat the bastards, beat 'em now
Beat the bastards, beat 'em now
