I know that you think I'm scum
Benefit scandal number one
I am living off DWP
Yet people think I have lots of P
I'm your local fraud, see my face in the sun
Mental health scandal but still a bum
My brains a little crippled
My head is a little fried
My skin feels rippled
Why does everyone think I've lied
"You're just a little different and you're just a little weird"
"It's all inside your head and you're faking it all"
You don't see how real this is until the broken ones fall
Stop turning different people into the ones who are feared
Yeah I'm crazy
I'm lazy
I fit the stereotype in one
I'm stupid
I'm defined
By the thoughts of some
I'm your local fraud but my scandal is real
You can tell me I'm faking all that you like
I can't let others tell me what I feel
I'm not lazy, I just have a misunderstood hike
