lyrics

We are at the bottom of the pile
The scum of the earth - we're not worthwhile
We are the unwanted and reviled
We are at the bottom of the pile.

We are the lowest of the low
For the likes of us there's nowhere else to go
The School Of Hard Knocks educated blow by blow
We are the lowest of the low.

We are the underdogs who never have their day
The Great Unwashed we come in shades
Of black white yellow brown and grey
We are at the bottom of the heap
The hole they dug for us was dark and deep
Life is hardly cheerful - life is cheap
We are at the bottom of the heap.

We are the underclass - we'll never be on top
Disinherited and dispossessed
We've been left here to rot
We are at the bottom of the pack
That's the way the cards fell - how they're stacked
We disappeared down in between the cracks
We are at the bottom of the pack
We are at the bottom of the pile
The scum of the earth - we're not worthwhile
We are the unwanted and reviled
We are at the bottom of the pile
We are at the bottom of the pile
We are at the bottom of the pile
We are at the bottom of the pile

Songs of urban alienation with plenty of fierce, spontaneous playing", their original sound is personified by the dark social commentary of Burch's lyrics and vocals. ... more
