verse 2
                                    politicians say times will be tough

                                    we know exactly for who { m }
                                
                                    it wont be the bankers  they ve got guarantees

                                     no there talking of me and of you 

                                        let them come down from their ivory tower
                                     
                                         lets see how well they can do

                                       on the dole like the ordinary man in the street  
                                       
                                        living like me and like you 
                                               
                                                       chorus

verse 3                            hospital beds waiting your turn  
                                         forever and ever in vain
                                         they can fly to the moon but they cant find room
                                          so you lie on a trolley in pain
                                          people on pensions mothers with kids
                                           worries and woes and ills
                                           cooking the breakfast still half asleep
                                            who the hell s going to pay all the bills
                                                      
                                                               chorus     
verse 4                                  Night and day you work to pay 
                                              the mortgage on the family home
                                              that's not worth today what it was yesterday
                                               blame it all on the man in the moon
                                               its nobody s fault there s no one to blame
                                               things just happen that way
                                                but there s one thing for sure
                                                 you can bet your sweet life
                                                you r the one that will pay

                                                        chorus
