Thrown On The Scrapheap Lyrics

Thrown On The Scrapheap lyrics

They fought in the war to keep the people free



From the nazi scum who would invade our country



Fighting the fascist filth they risked their lives



But now they're old and weak they're just left to die







IT AIN'T RIGHT - NO WAY!



IT AIN'T RIGHT - THEY'VE BEEN BETRAYED







As soon as they're no use the government says goodbye



They throw them on the scrapheap and leave them to die



As soon as you're no use the government will say goodbye



They're throw you on the scrapheap and leave you to die







Folk who've worked for society for all of their years



Given blood and sweat and toil and tears



As soon as they're no use when they're too old



The government lets them freeze to death in the cold







On the pittance of a pension, struggling to survive



Freezing to death in the winter while the government stands by



They don't care about the old but what did you expect?



Put your trust in government and this is what you'll get
