What Do I Get Out of It
[Chorus]
What do I get out of it?
What do I get out of it?
You can come and stay a bit
But what do I get out of it?
[Verse 1]
Can you cook?
Can you clean?
Are you hot enough to be on a magazine?
Can you mow my lawn?
Do you have a degree?
Well it's useless here
Sorry, honey!
Mona
Thirty-three
Escaped a war
In Tripoli
A doctor in her country, wow!
Can she do my laundry now?
[Chorus]
What do I get out of it?
Wha-what do I get out of it?
You can come and stay a bit
But what do I get out of it?
[Verse 2]
If you want to stay here
You have to pay to play dear
And if you can't afford to pay
We can find another way
Salma
Twenty-two
Works in a sweatshop
Making shoes
Fears for her life
Because she's queer
Believes that shе'll be safer herе
[Chorus]
What do I get out of it?
Wha-what do I get out of it?
You can come and stay a bit
But what do I get out of it?
[Verse 3]
Liam
Forty-three
Does data
At HSBC
Lives in London
Half the year
But wants to purchase three homes here
Faduma and Anahlia
Fled famine in Somalia
Can't afford their legal fees
Should they be allowed to eat?
You can't say undeservedly
Get on you knees and service me
Grab a broom, babe
Don't be rude
It's called indentured servitude
[Interlude]
Well, look who's back
It's Mona, Salma, Faduma and Anahlia
Didn't we tell you to go back to where you came from?
You want to appeal your case?
Well...
[Chorus]
What do I get out of it?
Wha-what do I get out of it?
You can come and stay a bit
But what do I get out of it?
[Outro]
This song is dedicated to all my dusty bitches
My bad dirty bitches
My stank hoe-ass bitches
Who can't seem to talk about immigrants
Without asking what it does for them
