Scam

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'll never change until the end

Is to buy appreciation of the nation

To cover the mistakes you must defend

And you say there'll be a chance for everyone

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 living life at speed of light

Scam

Don't know why but I have to do the things I do

Scam

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 it don't matter how much I earn

'Cos 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 when I want to get ahead

See I have no car, job, wife, dog and home

Debts and threats on the telephone

Maybe I should bust a move instead

Now we all know when we watch the television

Not confused between a puppet or conviction

Glued to the screen by a thousand shallow words of widsom

It ain't what it seems when it's a single sided system

Someone's got a hold on my living

So I'm gonna have to do the things that's fair

They got to justify for what I should be giving

Should I lie, should I steal or should I care

'Cos now I've got to scam
