Community Outcast Lyrics

Community Outcast by Devlin

• And this one's for all the characters that have been
• forgotten at the present time...

• I represent for the jobless
• That have been made redundant
• That have four kids
• And don't know how to fund them.
• Ever since the wife and husband
• Both lost their jobs at the office in london
• Now they feel financially trapped
• Now are locked with rats in a dindgy old dungeon.
• Take this young father of two
• Signing on and the the government
• Says that his family are spongers.
• He's like "damn man
• We aint got a penny or a pound
• Let alone money for milk
• And nappies and trainers and jumpers
• He got taken off site cause it's cheaper
• To pay Europeans to labour in numbers
• Hows he gonna take care of his youngers

• I represent to the people
• Let down by a nation
• And left on the streets where it's evil
• Little kids surrounded by knives and heroin needls
• I represent to the people
• Let down by a nation
• And left on the streets where it's evil
• Community outcast cold, tired and feeble

• I represent for the homeless,
• Let down by a nation,
• More interested in war and invasion,
• When children are sleeping at railway stations.
• No home or money,
• They wish they can phone their mummy
• To put a whole meal in their tummy,
• So at night when the temperature drops,
• I'm asking you, remember what you got,
• These kids go home to a cardboard box,
• They're the soul survivors,
• Warming their hands with a flickering flame of their lighters,
• All their life they've been frightened.
• Walk the streets with their head down,
• Knowing deep inside that they've really been let down,
• By a country that's crippled,
• And I thought mankind was supposed to be civil.

• I represent to the people,
• Let down by a nation,
• And left in the streets where it's evil,
• Little kids surrounded by knives and heroin needles.
• I represent to the people,
• Let down by a nation,
• And left on the streets where it's evil,
• Community outcast, cold, tired and feeble.

• I represent single Mums,
• All alone on their own trying to put food in the mouths of her two sons,
• And the fathers gone, there's no cash flow, lack of income,
• But that's just the way it is,
• She counts fifteen needles pushing her pram on the way to the lift,
• And this is where brown said it's safe to live and raise kids.
• She finds her way out of the block,
• With two kids in a pram and a rip and a stain in her top,
• She goes to sign on just to maintain the little she's got,
• For her kids sake,
• They'll never see a decent life,
• But they can dream and they'll sleep tonight,
• They've been hung out and left to dry,
• The kids are in bed, Mums left to cry.

• I represent to the people,
• Let down by a nation,
• And left in the streets where it's evil,
• Little kids surrounded by knives and heroin needles.
• I represent to the people,
• Let down by a nation,
• And left on the streets where it's evil,
• Community outcast, cold, tired and feeble.

• I represent for the old folk, that live alone,
• No family or kids at home,
• And all he wants is someone to speak to but nobody thinks to phone.
• Sits at home in the dark, no electric,
• Since his wife passed, he can't accept it,
• He feels isolated, neglected,
• And now his council flats infested,
• So he goes to the shop for his papers,
• With a stick and he falls in the mud,
• The people around him all pulled him up,
• But to him that's just a reminder,
• He's old and he's weak with no one to love.
• I see clouds up above,
• Another bad day in the diary,
• An old man one of many,
• Killed by society, strangled quietly
