It is better to give than to receive, they say
It is humbler to receive than to give, I say
Disabled through illness,
Social Security have given me a lot
Access to Work a big lot
My own Diocese quite a lot
I have received and received and received
Because I have asked and asked and asked
Does it make me a sponger, to ask?
No, comes the reply
You’ve already paid for it in your taxes
But it remains true
Those who can best
Manage the system fare the best.
