money & corruption - kinks lyrics

Loading...

(sung by chorus)

we are sick and tired
of being promised this and that.
we work all day, we sweat and slave
to keep the wealthy fat.
they fill our heads with promises
and bamboozle us with facts,
then they put on false sincerity
then they laugh behind our backs.

1st chorus
money and corruption
are ruining the land
crooked politicians
betray the working man,
pocketing the profits
and treating us like sheep,
and we’re tired of hearing promises
that we know they’ll never keep.

money and corruption
(etc. repeat 1st chorus above)

promises, promises, all we get are promises.
show us a man who’ll understand us, guide us and lead us.

we are sick and tired
of having to ask them cap in hand
we crawl on the floor
we beg for more,
but still we are ignored.
we’re tired of being herded
like a mindless flock of sheep
and we’re tired of hearing promises
that we know they’ll never keep.

1st chorus
money and corruption
are ruining the land
crooked politicians
betray the working man,
pocketing the profits
and treating us like sheep,
and we’re tired of hearing promises
we know they’ll never keep.

we’ve got to stand together
every woman, every man,
because money and corruption are ruining the land.
show us a man who’ll be our saviour and will lead us.
show us a man who’ll understand us, guide us and lead us.
show us a man.
workers of the nation unite.
workers of the nation unite.
(mr. black sings)

i visualise a day when people will be free
and we’ll be living in a new society.
no cl-ss distinction, no slums or poverty
i have a vision of a new society.
and every home will have a stereo and tv,
a deep freeze, quadrasonic and a washing machine.
so workers of the nation unite.

i am your man
i’ll work out a five-year plan
so vote for me brothers
and i will save this land
and we will nationalise the wealthy companies
and all the directors will be answerable to me,
there’ll be no shirking of responsibilities
so people of the nation unite.

union man i’ll work with you hand in hand
for we’re all brothers to our union man.
i am your man,
oh god how i love this land,
so join together save the fatherland.

i visualize a day when people will be free
and we’ll be living in a new society.
no cl-ss distinction, no slums or poverty,
so workers of the nation unite,
workers of the nation unite,
people of the nation unite.
