|
Oo - wee! ain't life grand? |
|
They give you a dollar, |
|
Then snatch it back out of your hand, |
|
They rip you off for working, |
|
And they damn you if you don't, |
|
The only way you're gonna get out of this, |
|
Is to tell 'em that you won't. |
|
CHORUS: |
|
High Society - |
|
Look what you're doing to me - |
|
High Society. |
|
Oh,oh the taxman, |
|
Won't believe me that I'm broke, |
|
But even if I could pay up, |
|
He'd still take me for a joke. |
|
High Society - |
|
Look what you're doing to me - |
|
High Society. |
|
Now everything I've said here, |
|
Is really just a joke, |
|
But maybe that's because a policeman, |
|
Has got me by the throat. |
