With One Eye On Getting Their Pay
With one eye on getting their pay
The lackeys of the well-off say
That we always are the best
And new ways get us nowhere
Nothing changes, nothing changes, for the best
Look in the bible you will see how
The people went on the same as now
They cheated and lied the same
They loved and died the same
Nothing changes, nothing changes, for the best
The well-off pray there'll be no more change
To the perfect world they've made
After all if fair Britain stays the same
They'll hold onto their ill-gotten ways
Whenever the mentally unsound
Try to turn our lives upside down
They hope to improve the world
They have only made it worse
Nothing changes, nothing changes, for the best
The well-off pray there'll be no more change
To the perfect world they've made
After all if fair Britain stays the same
They'll hold on to their ill-gotten things
With one eye on getting their pay
The lackeys of the well-off say
That we our always the best
And new ways get us nowhere
Nothing changes, nothing changes, for the best
The lackeys of the well-off say
That we always are the best
And new ways get us nowhere
Nothing changes, nothing changes, for the best
Look in the bible you will see how
The people went on the same as now
They cheated and lied the same
They loved and died the same
Nothing changes, nothing changes, for the best
The well-off pray there'll be no more change
To the perfect world they've made
After all if fair Britain stays the same
They'll hold onto their ill-gotten ways
Whenever the mentally unsound
Try to turn our lives upside down
They hope to improve the world
They have only made it worse
Nothing changes, nothing changes, for the best
The well-off pray there'll be no more change
To the perfect world they've made
After all if fair Britain stays the same
They'll hold on to their ill-gotten things
With one eye on getting their pay
The lackeys of the well-off say
That we our always the best
And new ways get us nowhere
Nothing changes, nothing changes, for the best
