I been working all day for me mate on the site

Running around like a blue arsed fly
G D

Every bleeding minute I been on the go
D
Up and down the ladder like a fiddler's elbow
G D

Wait for tomorrow at half past ten

When I sign on, but until then
D A D
I'll be working, I'll be working all day for me mate 
Verso 2:
D
Aint' got no cards, don't pay no tax

For a score in me hand I'll be breaking me back

But I need more than food and rent
G D
I been working, I been working all day for me mate

Verso 3:
D
The benefit boys are out of touch
D
What they don't know won't hurt 'em much
G D
I been working, I been working all day for me mate
D
If I'm caught I'll go down for a month or three
D
But they'll still be paying out, looking after me
G D
I been working, I been working all day for me mate
