We're so different from the likes of you
we do all the things normal people do
we like a drink and we like a smoke
we like a good laugh and a dirty joke
and we like going out at the weekend
(Chorus):
This is the sound of the council estate
we're the people that you love to hate
cos we're so real and your so crass
this is the sound ... Of the working class
You look so silly in your dinner suit
can you blame us for putting in the boot
sipping champagne from your crystal glass
swapping funny handshakes with the upper class
trying to pretend that you're not one of us
(Chorus)
We go to work almost every day
chuck a sicky sometimes on a monday
we are what we are and proud of it
stick your airs and graces and your fancy shit
cos what you see is what you're gonna get
(Chorus)
Backslapping and false smiles all around
making up stories to disguise your background
discussing what you'd do with the unemployed
questions about your past you try and avoid
you can fool them but you can't fool us
