Gm7 Bbmaj7 Am7 C
Don't get settled in this place,
Gm7 Bbmaj7 Am7 C
The Lodger's terms are in disgrace.
Gm7 Bbmaj7 Am7 C Gm7 Bbmaj7 D7
Gm7 Bbmaj7 Am7 C
No peace for the wicked - only war on the poor
Gm7 Bbmaj7 D7
They're batting on pickets - trying to even the score
Gm7 Bbmaj7 Am7 C
It's all inclusive - and the dirt comes free
Gm7 Bbmaj7 D7
And you can be all that you want to be
Gm7 Bbmaj7 Am7 C Gm7 Bbmaj7 D7
mmm, yeah.
Oh an equal chance and an equal pay
But equally there's no equal pay
There's room on top - if you tow the line
And if you believe all this you must be out of your mind
There's only room for those the same
Those who play the leeches game
Don't get settled in this place
The lodger's terms are in disgrace
Getcha brains blown out - in a captain's mess
Stand for the Queen if you can stand the test
It's all thrown in and the lies come free
And you can be all that they want you to be
There's only room for those the same
Those who play the leeches game
Don't get settled in this place
The lodger's terms are in disgrace
Oh if you work hard you can be the boss
But if you don't work at all then that's nobody's loss
There's room on top - if you dig in low
And the idea is what they reap you sow
With an old school tie and a reference
You can cover up crimes in their defence
It's all thrown in and the lies come free
And you can be all that they want you to be
There's only room for those the same
Those who play the leeches game
Don't get settled in this place
The Lodger's terms are in disgrace.
