What gives you the fucking right What makes you think you know better Why would you think how it is inside your head’s The way it should be forever The times they have been a’changing now for so long that change is all there is And the change inside my pocket Is nowhere near enough to live I ask what gives you the fucking right do you think its the money or good breeding While you stagnate at status quo And assume you are succeeding Your gnarled and ancient family tree Has roots the same as mine grew under the same sun but for you the stars aligned  But for yours the stars aligned Money talks We can’t reply It’s a one-way conversation Money talks I tell no lie No ideas above your station So don’t tell me The same old story – I’ve heard them before So don’t sell me The party line – I think we both know the score So don’t tell me, you’re still wan ting more So don’t tell me, What gives you the fucking right Pretending that you care To claim We’re all in this together But you striped the cupboard bare With gold lining pockets Your silver spoon overflows With daddy’s name behind you We all know how it goes Money talks There is no doubt So don’t tell me The same old story – I’ve heard them before So don’t sell me The party line – I think we both know the score So don’t tell me, you’re still wan ting more So don’t tell me, You’ll have your say You’ll buy your way Whatever it costs you’re going to pay You can try me But you can’t buy me You can’t afford me, I’m not for sale What gives you the fucking right What makes you think you know me What makes you think the way it’s always been Is the way it’s gotta be So don’t tell me The same old story – I’ve heard them before So don’t sell me The party line – I think we both know the score So don’t tell me, you’re still wanting more So don’t tell me, you’re still wanting more So don’t tell me The same old story – I’ve heard them before So don’t sell me The party line – I think we both know the score So don’t tell me, you’re still wanting more So don’t tell me, What gives you the fucking right.

about

We’re tired of being lied to, tired of being taken for fools, and tired of money doing all the talking. So please don’t tell us the same old story – we’ve heard them all before.

What gives them the fucking right?
