I was living in a Newtown
And I, had problems with my parents
So I moved on up to London town
Where they said that things were happening, going down

Chorus:
Living in a bedsit
Bunking the tube trains
Sleeping all day long
And you know no one, cos you don't go out
Cos you've got no work
You just watch television
Living with unemployment

I, I ain't got a job
And, there's no work in the city
They, they always try to blame it on the blacks
But it's really those in power who stab you in the back

Chorus:
Living in a bedsit
Bunking the tube trains
We're sleeping all day long
And you know no one, cos you don't go out
Cos you've got no work
You just watch television
Living with unemployment
