The tax dodger said something racist
Straight on the LBC playlist
The numbers are wrong, but it doesn’t matter
The conversation’s when, not if
The conversation’s details
Picking over entrails
Fetching nails, this mood entails
Sacrifice, not very nice
The cost of living versus cost of life
The cost-of-living vs cost of strife
The cost of living carries a knife
They’re losing it
The poor people phone in
Moanin’, groanin’
Lacking serotonin
The rich man threw ‘em a bone in
The damage is done
The money’s having fun
We’re fighting each other
They look after number one
The tax dodger said something racist
The rich man threw them a bone in
The tax dodger said something racist
Normal on the news and on the phone in
The rich bloke said something racist
Racism is back in style
Racism is back in fashion
It has been for a while
The rich bloke said something racist
The money’s having fun
While we fight each other
They look after number one
The tax dodger said something racist
The homeless guy gets abuse
I’ve got a job, what’s your excuse
Why did your mother even reproduce
You don’t produce, you’re no use
How far can his soul reduce
Their ire profuse, they introduce
An imaginary veteran into the equation
More deserving, served his nation
Worthy of praise, adoration
Give the homeless vet a standing ovation
But this deserves examination
Because they ain’t helping him either
The what about – it’s a deceiver
It’s dog eat dog, let’s face it
The tax dodger said something racist
The rich bloke said something racist
Racism is back in style
Racism is back in fashion
It has been for a while
The rich bloke said something racist
The money’s having fun
While we fight each other
They look after number one
Pay attention to what he says next
Says he didn’t mean to cause offence
Not sorry for what he said
He’s sorry that it got in your head
He’s sorry that you might fight it
He’s sorry you might not watch Man United
He’s sorry he misunderstood football
Where an injury to one is an injury to all
But the damage is done
We’re fighting each other
They look after number one
His words are a starting gun
Someone’s countdown has begun
The rich bloke said something racist
Racism is back in style
Racism is back in fashion
It has been for a while
The rich bloke said something racist
The money’s having fun
While we fight each other
They look after number one
