Gm7Don't get Bbmaj7settled Am7in this Cplace, The Gm7Lodger's Bbmaj7terms are Am7in disCgrace.
Gm7 Bbmaj7 Am7 C Gm7 Bbmaj7 D7
No Gm7peace for the wicked Bbmaj7- only Am7war on the poor C They're Gm7batting on pickets Bbmaj7- trying to D7even the score It's Gm7all inclusive Bbmaj7- and the Am7dirt comes free C And Gm7you can be Bbmaj7all that you D7want to be
Gm7 Bbmaj7 Am7 C mmm, Gm7yeah. Bbmaj7 D7 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.
