Celtic Tiger

Greedy, greedy, greedy, greedy, greedy

So greedy, greedy, greedy, greedy, greedy

Now they saw the Celtic Tiger in my home town

Brings jewels and crowns, picks you up off the ground

But the Celtic Tiger does two things

It brings you good luck or it eats you up for its supper

It's the tale of the two cities on the shamrock shore

Please Sir can I have some more

Cos if you are poor you'll be eaten for sure

And that's how I know the poor have more taste than the rich

And that's how I know the poor have more taste than the rich

Hear the Celtic Tiger roar - I want more

Hear the Celtic Tiger roar - I want more, more, more

The fastest growing inflation rate in the world,

the cost of a run down house is absurd

This isn't any age for a low income wage

Ask anyone who's locked in a cage

A couple with kids can't afford a place to live

Even if they have a good job

We're bring robbed by the builders and the fat cat government

A league of greed and they don't even need for a thing

It's a sin

But it's the nature of the beast

You'd better go and find a priest and confess

Because your greed is gonna leave you soulless

Where we gonna live, what we gonna do

We'll have to move in with the woman in the shoe

They're driving us onto the streets

While the fat cat in government cheats, and always

gets away with his crime

A kid steals a jacket and does time

Just look at the world around you

Tell why is there so much need

Because of greed

So greedy, greedy, greedy, greedy, greedy
