THE GREAT UNWASHED

We’re all alcoholics
‘Cept Billy the junkie
And maybe old Mary who eats Vaseline
We all have our problems
Our own special addictions
We just hide in the shadows
And die in our dreams

Over there sits young Billy
We call him the junkie
He’s not had a job for the best of FIVE years
But he’s not got the heart to go mugging or thieving
He just sits in the corner
And swallows his Fears

Then there’s old Mary
She’ll tell you the story
About all the lives she’s supposed to have saved
She was a nurse in the army somewhere SHE DON’T REMEMBER
She just hurts herself
She’ll do you no harm

Me my names Davy
They say that I’m crazy
Because of what I have done and the things I have seen
But I’m just as sane as the doctors in here
I take my punishment
And don’t pass the blame

We’re just victims of circumstance
With social rejection at the heart of our problems
We’ll never fit in with the sane and the normal
We are the minority
Who live on the edge
