I'm council housed and violent
I'm laughing at the tyrants
I'm sleeping under sirens
Whilst wondering where the time went
I'm scum, I'm scum

I'll sing at fascists till my head comes off
I am Dennis Skinner's molotov (*)
I'm lefty, I'm soft
I'm minimum wage job
I am a mongrel dog
I'm just another cog
I'm scum, I'm scum

This snowflake's an avalanche

Dirty, rotten, filthy scum
For a long long while I've known I'm
Dirty, rotten, filthy scum
For a long old while I've known I'm scum
I'm scum

Spit in your percolator
I am procrastinator
I over-tip the waiter
Sarcastic amputator
'Cause I'm scum, I'm scum

I don't care about the next James Bond
He kills for country, queen, and god
We don't need another murderous toff
I'm just wondering where the high street's gone
'Cause I'm scum, I'm scum

This snowflake's an avalanche

Dirty, rotten, filthy scum
For a long long while I've known I'm
Dirty, rotten, filthy scum
For a long old while I've known I'm scum
For a long old while I've known I'm scum
For a long old while I've known I'm scum
For a long old while I've known I'm scum
