None Of Your Affair

When your train’s been cancelled
You’ll be angry and irate
When your ship’s been hijacked
You’ll complain to the state
But when your friend doesn’t turn up
You don’t seem to care
For the trouble that he’s in
Is non of your affair

When your coach’s been delayed
You wait impatiently
When the underground’s on strike
You complain endlessly
But when your friend goes missing
You don’t seem to care
For the trouble that he’s in
Is none of your affair

When the postman’s late
It can lead to complaint
the T.V. stops working
It can bring you out in hate
When your friend stops coming round
You don’t seem to care
Obviously his troubles
Are non-of your affair

When there are wars started
In a far way state
You phone up the home office
To find out their fate
But when your friend goes missing
You won’t return one visit
So I tell you my friend
You’re such a hypocrite

Do you think you’ll change the world?
From your warm armchair
When your next door neighbour lives
In grinding poverty
Do write letters to The Times about crime
To say you care
When half the criminals live in your locality
