Lazy Sod Lyrics

You're only 29
Got a lot to learn
But when your business dies
You will not return

We like noise it's our choice
It's what we wanna do
We don't care about long hair
We don't wear flares

See my face not a trace
No reality
I don't work I just speed
That's all I need

I'm a lazy sod
I'm a lazy sod
I'm a lazy sod
I'm so lazy
I'm a lazy sod
I'm a lazy sod
I'm a lazy sod
I'm so lazy
I can't even be bothered
Lazy Lazy
