Tenement Yard

I ain't gonna give in, but I haffi live in
In a yard, tenement yard
I can't find a cent, but I haffi pay mi rent
In a yard, tenement yard

Cost of living get so high
Food prices rise 'til they touch the sky
The country suffer such a terrible sore
Politicians claimin' that they can't find the cure

But I ain't gonna give in, I haffi live in
In a yard, tenement yard
I can't find a cent, but I haffi pay mi rent
In a yard, tenement yard

Hungry children on the streets
Shining car windows, no shoes on their feet
While the rich boys children are dressed to play
Poor people's children suffer and live long days

But I ain't gonna give in, I haffi live in
In a yard, tenement yard
I can't find a cent, but I haffi pay mi rent
In a yard, tenement yard

To be ambituous is just a waste
I tell you, this ah system is a big disgrace
Down here on the rock, them suffer from grief
Them ya people come from a different breed

But I ain't gonna give in, I haffi live in
In a yard, tenement yard
I can't find a cent, but I haffi pay mi rent
In a yard, tenement yard

I ain't gonna give in, but I haffi live in
In a yard, tenement yard
I can't find a cent, but I haffi pay mi rent
In a yard, tenement yard

Cost of living get so high
Food prices rises 'til they touch the sky
The country suffer such a terrible sore
And politicians claimin' that they can't find the cure

But I ain't gonna give in, I haffi live in
In a yard, tenement yard
I can't find a cent, but I haffi pay my rent
In a yard, tenement yard

To be ambitious is just a waste
I tell you, this ah system is a big disgrace
Down here on the rock, them suffer from grief
Them ya people come from a different breed

But I ain't gonna give in, I haffi live in
In a yard, tenement yard
I can't find a cent, but I haffi pay mi rent
In a yard, tenement yard

Hungry children on the streets
Shining car windows, no shoes on their feet
While the rich boys children are dressed to play
Poor people's children suffer and live long days

But I ain't gonna give in, I haffi live in
In a yard, tenement yard
I can't find a cent, but I haffi pay mi rent
In a yard, tenement yard

Ain't gonna give in, I haffi live in
In a yard, tenement yard
I can't find a cent, but I haffi pay mi rent
In a yard, tenement yard

Ain't gonna give in, I haffi live in
