This song is about pissing your hard earned cash straight down the communal toilet! Bassline to oblivion!

I've always tried to decipher what 's being shouted at the beginning of the song? It's audible on the live versions too.

"I won't dance in a club like this All the girls are slags and the beer tastes just like piss" Love it. - All too true of most clubs I've got to say.
