Up in the morning and out to school
Mother says there'll be no work next year
Qualifications once the Golden Rule are now just pieces of paper
Just because you're better than me doesn't mean I'm lazy
Just because you're going forwards doesn't mean I'm going backwards
Well if you look the part well then
You'll get the job in last year's trousers and your oldschool shoes
The truth is son it's a buyer's market they can afford to pick and choose
Just because you're better than me doesn't mean I'm lazy
Just because I dress like this doesn't mean I'm a Communist
Well the factory's are closing and the army's full
I don't know what I'm going to do
But I've come to see in the land of the free
There's only room for a chosen few
Just because you're better than me doesn't mean I'm lazy
Just because you're going forwards doesn't mean I'm going backwards
Well at 21 you're atop of the scrap heap
At 16 you were top of your class
Well I dropped outta high school in Campbell, California
Got a guitar and I never looked back
Just because your better than me doesn't mean I'm lazy
Just because I dress like this doesn't mean I'm a Communist
The lyrics TO HAVE AND TO HAVE NOT of LARS FREDERIKSEN & THE BASTARDS is also present in the album Lars frederiksen & the bastards (2001)
Lars Frederiksen and The Bastards è un gruppo musicale statunitense formatosi nel 2001 da Lars Frederiksen, chitarrista e cantante dei Rancid. Il progetto nasce come una sorta di outlet per l'artista, che con i Bastards esplora sonorità più punk rock e meno influenzate dal reggae e dall'ska tipici del sound dei Rancid. Frederiksen si avvale di un gruppo di musicisti provenienti dalla scena punk californiana, creando un suono potente e diretto, caratterizzato da riff aggressivi e testi che affrontano temi come la disillusione sociale, l'alienazione e la rabbia giovanile. Tra i brani più rappresentativi del gruppo figurano "The Ballad of the Bastards", "I Don't Wanna Be Your Friend" e "California Dreamin'". Sebbene non abbiano raggiunto lo stesso successo dei Rancid, Lars Frederiksen and The Bastards hanno conquistato un seguito fedele tra gli appassionati di punk rock.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
