I think that we should analyse
their tax affairs
disturb and sift the little truth
from all the lies and then
we'll see
just how they've cheated
you and me.

But would you bother?
ask yourself, or
leave the ledgers on the shelf
to gather dust?

Dodgy dealing?
what they do is classed as stealing
ripping off the system
claiming while they're unemployed
but they're working and
that gets me annoyed.

I pay my tax
I pay my dues
why think that I'll be quiet if they continue to abuse the welfare state?

The outcome?

Well we wait to see
what's in the store
of apathy.
