The world owes me a living
|
I've waited on this dole queue too long
|
I've been standin' in the rain for fifteen minutes
|
That's a quarter of an hour too long.
|
|
I'll take all they can give me
|
And then I'm gonna ask for more
|
Cos the money's buried deep in the bank of England
|
And I want the key to the vault
|
|
CHORUS:
|
I'm gonna take your money
|
Count your loss when I'm gone.
|
I'm alright, Jack,
|
I'm lookin' after number one.
|
|
If I want something I get it
|
Don't matter what I have to do
|
I'll step on your face, on your mother's grave
|
Never underestimate me I'm nobody's fool
|
|
(repeat chorus)
|
|
Don't wanna be like you.
|
Don't wanna live like you.
|
Don't wanna talk like you, at all.
|
|
Don't give me love thy neighbour
|
Don't give me charity
|
Don't give me peace and love or the good lord above
|
You only get in my way with your stupid ideas
|
|
I am an island
|
Entire of myself
|
And when I get old, older than today
|
I'll never need anybody's help in any way.
|
|
(repeat chorus)
|
|
Don't wanna be like you.
|
Don't wanna live like you.
|
Don't wanna talk like you, at all.
|
|
I'm gonna be like
|
I'm gonna be like
|
I'm gonna be like ME!
