Big fat cats are sitting highCorporate greed is bleeding us dryRich get richer with buy-to-letWe're just pawns, caught in the netThey sit pretty with their pots of goldWe live in pity, in cold 'n' mouldRotten and leaky, a standard draughtYeah... they're sneaky, having a laugh
Rent is high, it's cheaper to buyHow's that fair? Frown and sighI kid you not, it ain't a lieListen man, we're left to dieBeing screwed and hung to dryScream 'n' shout and beg 'n' cryBut don't despair, the end ain't nighWe'll fight back, aim real high
CHORUS
