He’s got a great big bonus made from gambling with our cash
He can add it to the millions in his lovely golden stash
He’s got mansions here and everywhere and chauffeur driven cars
He’s just a city trader – and times are really hard
He wants the money
They don’t pay tax in Britain ‘cos they’ve got some clever trick
That’s Starbucks, Google, Amazon – their tax advice is slick
It that was you or me, I’m sure we’d end up in the clink
They say it’s all quite legal, but morally it stinks
They want the money
They may not be the brightest sparks but they’re good with their feet
Football is their living, but like us they need to eat
A hundred grand a week? Hey wow that must be special food !
Perhaps that’s what you need to pay, to get them in the mood
They want the money
But I’m a hypocrite, and likely you are too
We wrestle with our consciences and mostly seem to lose
We buy things on the cheap, and we all want more for less
Why does this all happen? It isn’t hard to guess!
