The Lodgers (Or She Was Only A Shopkeeper's Daughter)

The Lodgers - The Style Council

No peace for the wicked

Only war on the poor

They're batting on pickets

Trying to even the score

It's all inclusive - and the dirt comes free

And you can be all that you want to be

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

Oh an equal chance and an equal pay

But equally there's no equal pay

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

The lodger's terms are in disgrace
