Getting Away With It

Subletting out his council house and claiming the dole
While living in a villa on the Costa del Sol
And while he's waiting for the rozzers to call
He's getting away with it

Renting in the catchment is an unwritten rule
You've gotta go to church, but it's a very good school
And the rent is astronomical too, but she's getting away with it

This idea of society is a fiction built in the sand
We wanna shake the Pagoda tree with our grubby little hands

But I'm always out to play it straight, but frankly why do I
When the whole world and his wife are getting away with it
They're getting away with it

Cruising through the college with David and Co
Maybe you'll become a new CEO
Give it a couple of years you'll have a peerage or two
Well that's living alright

It's not just where you're coming from, but who you know
The only thing that matters is how far you're prepared to go
In getting away with it

Oh, this idea of equality is the biggest joke in the land
The money's there for the taking, Jack
If you'd only play your hand
But I'm always out to play it straight, but frankly why do I
When the whole world and her wife are getting away with it
They're getting away with it
