You can hide your filthy money away

Leave it all for the poor old workers to pay

Avoid every question thrown upon you

Or lie the way you were brought up to do



Don't you know

Can't you see

You'll never sit next to me



You've got houses, cabins, villas and boats

In a pickle pick one of your many scapegoats

You've got friends in the castle, in the government too

And they all close their eyes while their shining your shoes



Don't you know

Can't you see

You'll never sit next to me



Your son's joined the family business of course

You made sure someone always opened their doors

Your wife's always quiet and you like her that way

She don't know your secrets but she will one day



Don't you know

Can't you see

You'll never sit next to me



Don't give me that story about how you've been true

To the law to the country and worked your way through

'Cos I don't believe you I hear all your lies

I see it so clear in those dark diamond eyes



Don't you know

Can't you see

You'll never sit next to me



The carpenter the lawyer the chef and the clerk

They all need their money so they all need to work

They've paid bills, paid taxes, their whole lives through

Now show me the difference between them and you



Don't you know

Can't you see

You'll never sit next to me



You can search me you coward, you selfish barone

Don't give me no smile when your heart's made of stone

Don't give me no lectures don't give me no speech

From your fat filthy fingers I am way out if reach



Don't you know

Can't you see

You'll never sit next to me
