lyrics

Motivated by and blinded by greed
You put your head in the noose
Don't expect my sympathy
Because you didn't expect to lose
You thought you'd found a money tree
It must have come as a shock
To wake up one bright sunny morning
Just to find you'd lost the lot

To see the greedy lose money
Gives me some satisfaction
You thought you could profit
Through money and inaction
However loud you whinge and squeal
You'll never change the way I feel
I'll just sit and laugh
As I think of you

The hardship committee sits in judgement
As you hold out the hat
You can keep fourteen grand a year and a house
I wouldn't say no to that
But to you it appears to be poverty
So you prepare to fight in court
Against the people you listened to
And whose advice you sought

To see the greedy lose money
Gives me some satisfaction
You thought you could profit
Through money and inaction
However loud you whinge and squeal
You'll never change the way I feel
I'll just sit and laugh
As I think of you

If you get some more money here's what to do
Go put it all on a horse
Look through the papers and take advice
From someone who knows the course
If it all goes wrong and your horse doesn't win
Then be prepared to sue
You followed advice instead of using your brain
Therefore the fault can't lie with you - oh no?

To see the greedy lose money
Gives me some satisfaction
You thought you could profit
Through money and inaction
However loud you whinge and squeal
You'll never change the way I feel
I'll just sit and laugh
As I think of you
