Life in the 20th Century is everything but easy 
Most people unemployed 
The young and the old on the dole 

Fortunately, our modern state 
Developed methods to keep you out of misery 

An hour or two spent in a queue 
Fill twenty files and access to paradise 

If you're 25, ask for R.M.I. 
Just stay home and get the f**king money 
And it's so well made 
That your debts will be erased 
Make your best to abuse the system 

Brave new world remunerating idleness as a part-time job 

Of course some things are asked to me 
Go to the ANPE 
So that they go on paying 
When all I do is nothing 

Fortunately it's only two times a week 
Sometimes you make a sacrifice 

A tiny pain for a comfortable gain 
Allowances are falling like rain 
Like rain 

If you're 25, ask for R.M.I. 
Just stay home and get the f**king money 
And expecting mothers 
Will even get more 
Giving a future to the nation 
And gettin' paid for 

Stand and deliver profits and benefits 
GO! 

Help yourself in the gold mine 
The witty lead the blind 
Help yourself in the gold mine 
Life suddenly comes fine 

If you're 25, ask for R.M.I. 
Just stay home and get the f**king money 
And it's so well made 
That your debts will be erased 
Make your best to abuse the system 

Fortunately our modern state 
Keeps you out of misery
