Money, Looks like we haven't enough
But where's all the money I've tried adding it up
I know my job as a rapper is simply grabbing my nuts

But you're judged these days on what you're happy to touch
It's hard to be a celebrity; these days ain't the 70's
Now when you've raped little girls you have to pay the penalty

Sitting in $$#embly thinking will the world remember me
The only way they will is if you're used as a centrepiece
For molestation or murder

I know that's merely taking it further but it's not fake when these words are
Man charged with murder for little miss missing
They sex at 10 when they used to just kissing

Therefore the age of consent should be lowered
So these jailed OAP's can get off
And we need all that money spent on something useful

Like locking away first time drug abusers
It ain't cheap to lock up criminals
And lock them up we shall even if the crime's minimal

Even if you walk past the police it's a DBS
Just an excuse so you can see me less
Why should you want to climb the ladder

If you were born poor you die poor that's the mantra
Lest we forget that ladders are very tall
So if you slip at the top that's a very long fall


Chorus:


They call cash hard coz it ain't soft to touch
Nor is what we do to get the profits up
They see all the people lost on drugs

Don't matter as long as they fill the coffins up
We can live forever until the stock is bust
Look at who gets blamed and it's often us

Looking for a new ideology, one to trust
Now I know why the cost of living costs so much


Look at the state education we're in
Those from the ends won't have good ends so why begin
Everybody's on the housing list but we can forget all about them

No space amongst all the skyscrapers and derelict housing
I know it's tiring but it's advisable not to get comfy
Every time you kip someone's taking over your country

Not foreigners nah I'm talking crazy politicians
Who can only win by divide and conquer so they make it their mission
To drive around in big cars giving off emissions

And tell you things are bad because of the people next to where you're living
If it wasn't for them you could get a job to earn a better plot
They can't be paying tax so the debt collectors should forget them not

There's people who earn millions who don't pay their millions
But they own everything we use so we can forgive them
Money's so scarce you need 2 jobs to live now

Good luck to anybody who needs one
Any money you do get please spend on consumerist items
They really need something to feed from

There's plenty of money in our arms we could give more to the streets
But the last time I checked war wasn't cheap
Everyone hates us so we need to double up

A brief silence for those suffering from budget cuts
No love but money will save us from a world quite sinister
Where it costs 10 million to bury our worst prime minister


Chorus:


They call cash hard coz it ain't soft to touch
Nor is what we do to get the profits up
They see all the people lost on drugs

Don't matter as long as they fill the coffins up
We can live forever until the stock is bust
Look at who gets blamed and it's often us

Looking for a new ideology, one to trust
Now I know why the cost of living costs so much


Austerity's so cleverly remembered by my dexterity
But regrettably ther'll never see a way to effectively merit me
Knowledge is power and I'm preferable knowledge less

Or I'll outreach these 2-home politicians with only 1 address
What kind of country is Britain, one without a ry
Son to reform relationships with reasonable regions really
Making us believe in dangerous regimes
So foreigners can thank us for bombing and raping their teens

As a way for them to start escaping their means
Get them aping our dreams take it from me
Make them look at our credit cards as cards of freedom
As components of capitalism I find it hard to believe in them
Freedom to spend money doesn't mean they're limitless

But they make the world go round and that's what living is
So if that's what you proscribe to to pay your way
You take the high road, low is where I'll stay

Chorus:


They call cash hard coz it ain't soft to touch
Nor is what we do to get the profits up
They see all the people lost on drugs
Don't matter as long as they fill the coffins up

We can live forever until the stock is bust
Look at who gets blamed and it's often us
Looking for a new ideology, one to trust
Now I know why the cost of living costs so much

They call cash hard coz it ain't soft to touch

Nor is what we do to get the profits up
They see all the people lost on drugs
Don't matter as long as they fill the coffins up
We can live forever until the stock is bust
Look at who gets blamed and it's often us
Looking for a new ideology, one to trust
Now I know why the cost of living costs so much
