Not The Only One

My father always said to me You gotta work hard
Provide for your family

I thought that he was right
Alright

Then I got myself a trade
For a working class boy

It's the only way I'll ever
Earn a decent wage

But around me, I see a lot of poverty
Underpaid workers being threatened
With refundency

You can have it all and then it's gone
Please say I'm not the only one
You can have it all and then it's gone
Please say I'm not the only

And it doesn't sit right with me
No, it doesn't sit right with me

I read about 1831
What the men and women of Merthyr had done
They were screaming for their rights
Thier rights

It's a new year now, but nothing's changed
The working class just want a decent wage
And we'll keep up the fight

I can't believe what I see
It's a middle class soapbox
Talking right at me

But they don't speak for me
Not me
I won't waste my time politicking
When it's time for action
I'll be there kicking

We won't fade away
No way

You can have it all and then it's gone
Please say I'm not the only one

And I won't stop singing this song
Just say I'm not the only one

And it doesn't sit right with me
No, it doesn't sit right with me

Look around, what do I see?
Our people in grips of poverty

I ask myself, what can I do?
Cause I know we deserve better

I know it's true
So when you're feeling down on your luck
Like you're down and now you
Don't give a fuck

Remember, brother, I've been there before
We will survive and we will get through

You can have it all and then it's gone
And I know I'm not the only one

No, I won't stop singing this song
'Cause I know I'm not the only one

You can have it all and then it's gone
And I know I'm not the only one

No, I won't stop singing this song
Cause I know I'm not the only one

We might be down, but we're never out
We might be down, but we're never out
We might be down, but we're never out

We might be down
But we're never fucking out
