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
