Does anything really change?

The great divide has come
Ten percent shall prosper
To them the kingdom come

Jack has bought a business
Pete inherits home
Jill has got a trust fund
They’ve all been buying fun

Jack’s alright he’s a predator
He’ll give you three good reasons that’ll change your mind

You can’t afford the B.U.P.A. health scheme
So when you get sick you’re going to die

You can’t afford to buy your own property
So when the rent goes up then you’re on the street

You can’t afford the bills and pills you need
You’ve got to get them cause they’re going to get you
