You say you fight to give us freedom |
|
But often more than not this is abused |
|
And the faces of a tired generation |
|
Have decided they are sick of being used |
|
For the purpose of current declarations |
|
Still the same, it will never change until the end |
|
Is to buy the appreciation of the nation |
|
To cover the mistakes you must defend |
|
And you say there will be a chance for eveyone |
|
To protest against your calculated greed |
|
But I can see into the future |
|
Won't be long before the welfare |
|
Send me letters telling me how much they need |
|
And it's not been in my interest to please them |
|
For the only interest rate to fall is mine |
|
See a brand new generation is demanding |
|
What you've been doing with our money all this time |
|
Scam, people try to live at the speed of light |
|
Scam, don't know why but |
|
I've got to do the things |
|
I doScam, give me ten, that's the move |
|
I give you five |
|
Scam, people say it's the way to stay alive |
|
So you see you have to be a schemer |
|
If you wanna love the life you have to live |
|
And I don't matter how much |
|
I earnCos |
|
I always get my fingers burned |
|
When the man gets down to his business |
|
And I've been searching for a reason |
|
Why I have to give it all up just |
|
I want to get ahead |
|
See I had to lose car, job, wife, dog and home |
|
Debts and threats on the phone |
|
Maybe I should bust a move instead |
|
Now we all know when we watch television |
|
Not confused between a puppet or conviction |
|
Glued to the screen by a thousand shallow words of wisdom |
|
It ain't what it seems when it's a single sided system |
|
Someone's got to hold on my living |
|
So I'm gonna have to do the thing that's fair |
|
They got to justify for what |
|
I should be giving |
|
Should I lie, should |
|
I steal or should |
|
I careCos now |
|
I've got to scam |
