And here we are at the working man's cafe

(same chord as on 1st verse)

It's really good to see us come so far
But haven't we forgotten who we are
Taking out a larger loan
Equity relief and mortgages
We all seem to pass the time of day 
Online on the internet cafe
And if you you forget my face
In case you've forgotten just who I am
DI'm (xx0232@1)the kid with the greasy spoon
