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'll never change until the end
  Is to buy appreciation of the nation
  To cover the mistakes you must defend
  And you say there'll be a chance for evryone
  to proptest 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 in demanding
  What you've been doing with out money all this time
    Scam
  People try living life at speed of light
  Scam
  Don't know why but I have 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 it 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 when I want to get ahead
  See I had to lose car, job, wife, dog and home
  Debts and threats on the telephone
  Maybe I should bust a move instead
  Now we all know when we watch the television
  Not confused between a puppet or conviction
  Glued to the screen by a thousand shallow words of widsom
  It ain't what it seems when it's a single sided system
  Someone's got a hold on my living
  So I'm gonna have to do the things 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
