Don t get settled in this place,
The Lodger s terms are in disgrace.
No peace for the wicked - only war on the poor
They re batting on pickets - trying to even the score
It s all inclusive - and the dirt comes free
And you can be all that you want to be
mmm, yeah.
Oh an equal chance and an equal pay
But equally there s no equal pay
There s room on top - if you tow the line
And if you believe all this you must be out of your mind
There s only room for those the same
Those who play the leeches game
Don t get settled in this place
The lodger s terms are in disgrace
Getcha brains blown out - in a captain s mess
Stand for the Queen if you can stand the test
It s all thrown in and the lies come free
And you can be all that they want you to be
There s only room for those the same
Those who play the leeches game
Don t get settled in this place
The lodger s terms are in disgrace
Oh if you work hard you can be the boss
But if you don t work at all then that s nobody s loss
There s room on top - if you dig in low
And the idea is what they reap you sow
With an old school tie and a reference
You can cover up crimes in their defence
It s all thrown in and the lies come free
And you can be all that they want you to be
There s only room for those the same
Those who play the leeches game
Don t get settled in this place
The Lodger s terms are in disgrace.
