"VAT" lyrics
Ever since the early days, I'm told the same old tales
That for those who practice wicked ways
Sweet justice will prevail
Keep your nose below the rules and always keep it clean
Work hard and do well at school, your life will be a dream
But lately, I've been thinking
That must have been a lie
Probably to hide the fact that real criminals wear a tie
They duck and dive and move the posts
To fit their world agendas
While we survive on tea and toast
And our eyes bleed from Eastenders
Where do we go, are we part of a show you're stagin'?
Or are there rules for you and rules for me?
I'm startin' to feel that a new deal needs arranging
Why must we pay the interest?
When you have never paid the VAT
The roads have started peeling
The news is never true
Big businesses are stealing
Does this seem fair to you?
And the governments are waging wars
For ruthless profiteers
While army adverts, born in Blythe
Tell me to face my fears
And the online fools hash tag so blessed
'Cause they've copped for two free hats
Well, we've lost our rights to protest
Go ahead and caption that
When the lads by ours go stealing cars
They're swiftly locked up behind bars
While you send missiles to the stars
You watch and drink and smoke cigars
Where do we go, are we part of a show you're stagin'?
Or are there rules for you and rules for me?
I'm startin' to feel that a new deal needs arranging
Why must we pay the interest?
When you have never paid the VAT
Where do we go, are we part of a show you're stagin'?
Or are there rules for you and rules for me?
I'm startin' to feel that a new deal needs arranging
Why must we pay the interest?
When you have never paid the VAT
Why must we pay the interest?
When you have never paid the VAT
That for those who practice wicked ways
Sweet justice will prevail
Keep your nose below the rules and always keep it clean
Work hard and do well at school, your life will be a dream
But lately, I've been thinking
That must have been a lie
Probably to hide the fact that real criminals wear a tie
They duck and dive and move the posts
To fit their world agendas
While we survive on tea and toast
And our eyes bleed from Eastenders
Where do we go, are we part of a show you're stagin'?
Or are there rules for you and rules for me?
I'm startin' to feel that a new deal needs arranging
Why must we pay the interest?
When you have never paid the VAT
The roads have started peeling
The news is never true
Big businesses are stealing
Does this seem fair to you?
And the governments are waging wars
For ruthless profiteers
While army adverts, born in Blythe
Tell me to face my fears
And the online fools hash tag so blessed
'Cause they've copped for two free hats
Well, we've lost our rights to protest
Go ahead and caption that
When the lads by ours go stealing cars
They're swiftly locked up behind bars
While you send missiles to the stars
You watch and drink and smoke cigars
Where do we go, are we part of a show you're stagin'?
Or are there rules for you and rules for me?
I'm startin' to feel that a new deal needs arranging
Why must we pay the interest?
When you have never paid the VAT
Where do we go, are we part of a show you're stagin'?
Or are there rules for you and rules for me?
I'm startin' to feel that a new deal needs arranging
Why must we pay the interest?
When you have never paid the VAT
Why must we pay the interest?
When you have never paid the VAT
