<pre>
 
I don't want to rent a house from you
 
I don't know how you can expect me to
 
I ain't moving 'cause I know my rights
 
Too many homeless on the streets at night
 
 
 
You own a street and a block of flats
 
You earn your living like the other rats
 
You've no morality, what do you care
 
You deal in poverty, you buy despair
 
 
 
I ain't moving 'till the baliff comes
 
I've got no weapons, gonna get me some
 
I ain't moving 'till the baliff comes
 
I've got no weapons, gonna get me some
 
 
 
You go and call yourself a business man
 
You're just a parasite on Pyllosan
 
You're just a middle class middle aged shit
 
You sold your granny for a three-penny bit
 
 
 
You own a street and a block of flats
 
You earn your living like the other rats
 
You've no morality, what do you care
 
You deal in poverty, you buy despair
 
 
 
I ain't moving 'till the baliff comes
 
I've got no weapons, gonna get me some
 
I ain't moving 'till the baliff comes
 
I've got no weapons, gonna get me some
