Stuart Zender - Scam lyrics

You say you fight to give us freedom But often more than not this is abused And the faces of a tired generation Have decided they are sick of being used For the purpose of current declarations Still the same, it will never change until the end Is to buy the appreciation of the nation To cover the mistakes you must defend And you say there will be a chance for eveyone To protest against your calculated greed But I can see into the future Won't be long before the welfare Send me letters telling me how much they need And it's not been in my interest to please them For the only interest rate to fall is mine See a brand new generation is demanding What you've been doing with our money all this time Scam, people try to live at the speed of light Scam, don't know why but I've got to do the things I do Scam, give me ten, that's the move I give you five Scam, people say it's the way to stay alive So you see you have to be a schemer If you wanna love the life you have to live And I don't matter how much I earn Cos I always get my fingers burned When the man gets down to his business And I've been searching for a reason Why I have to give it all up just I want to get ahead See I had to lose car, job, wife, dog and home Debts and threats on the phone Maybe I should bust a move instead Now we all know when we watch television Not confused between a puppet or conviction Glued to the screen by a thousand shallow words of wisdom It ain't what it seems when it's a single sided system Someone's got to hold on my living So I'm gonna have to do the thing that's fair They got to justify for what I should be giving Should I lie, should I steal or should I care Cos now I've got to scam
