Stiff Little Fingers — Good For Nothing lyrics

Lyrics

you’re good for nothing
so watch your p’s and q’s
best keep your nose clean
and play it by our rules
mind your way and don’t make waves
and you’ll get used to knowing you’re no use
you’re good for nothing
you only waste your time
be a good neighbour
and get back there in line
throw no stones and break no bones
and watch while we pass by on the other side
good for nothing
you’re good for nothing
and so you’re gonna get
nothing for good
you’re good for nothing
no matter what you do you’ll never make it to get what you want to just give your best and then take less
there’s always someone to get the better of you
suffer in silence now or else
go work for others not yourself
don’t make no noise
don’t make no fuss
cause then you’re the others you’re working for
are us how long?
how long?
how long will you wait for?
how long will you wait for good?
