Slum Mums Lyrics - Morrissey

Six filthy children 

from six absent fathers 

And then you turn 

to us for succour 

because you think 

we're just suckers 

We may be welfare, oh yeah, 

but we don't care 

and we get paid to despise 

your council house eyes 

You can change your name 

you can bleach your skin 

camouflage your accent 

so that even you don't recognise it

But you won't escape 

from the slum mums 

because you are one 

because you live and breathe like one 

And the Labour government 

can't stand the slum mums 

It's ingrained 

underneath your fingernails 

The office of the 

Social Service 

is strategically placed 

in a dowdy, rowdy part of town 

to discourage you 

from signing 

We make you feel 

as if you're whining 

when you claim 

what's legally yours 

Photos 

You can change your name 

and you can bleach your skin 

camouflage your accent 

so that even you don't recognise it 

But you won't escape 

from the slum mums 

because you are one 

because you live and breathe like one 

And the Labour government 

can't stand the slum mums 

It's ingrained 

underneath your fingernails 

Take you and your rat pack brood 

to the long grass of the meadow 

administer seven doses lethal and illegal 

which may render you elsewhere
