Can we believe a word that you say?

So, they'll vote your way
Then your ambitions
With no contrition
Stirs up sedition
And you look away!

Hi there multi-billionaire with your cars and your rockets and toys
Is your ever-growing money, you got from dad and mummy
Bringing you a lot of joy?

With money that grows over time
You're not payin' taxes, to hell with the masses

First you make it
Offshore you take it
Hide and divest it

While it amasses
You count your assets
