I don't know how you can expect me to

I ain't moving 'cause I know my rights

Too many homeless on the streets at night

A7                                   A#7 A7
You own a street and a block of flats
A7                                      G#7 A7
You earn your living like the other rats

You deal in poverty, you buy despair

E                         A    D
I ain't moving 'till the baliff comes

I've got no weapons, gonna get me some
E                         A      D
I ain't moving 'till the baliff comes
E                           A      D
I've got no weapons, gonna get me some

You go and call yourself a business man
You're just a parasite on Pyllosan
You're just a middle class middle aged shit
You sold your granny for a three-penny bit

You own a street and a block of flats
You earn your living like the other rats
You've no morality, what do you care
You deal in poverty, you buy despair

Chorus - x2

You go and call yourself a business man
You're just a parasite on Pyllosan
You're just a middle class middle aged shit
You sold your granny for a three-penny bit

You own a street and a block of flats
You earn your living like the other rats
You've no morality, what do you care
You deal in poverty, you buy despair
