It doesn’t matter what you say You can pay to have your way And the truth can go away Chuck some money at it Chuck some money at it It doesn’t matter what you do Just need the cash to see it through Doesn’t have to be remotely true Money goes to bloody money And the power it buys Is built on bloody lies Money goes to bloody money And the power it buys Is built on bloody lies It doesn’t matter what you pull You can keep your pockets full Cover up their eyes with wool Chuck some money at it Chuck some money at it It doesn’t matter what you claim You light the fire and the flame But you’re never going to take the blame No! Money goes to bloody money And the power it buys Is built on bloody lies Money goes to bloody money And the power it buys Is built on bloody lies Morally bankrupt, yet you can deceive When there’s always more up your sleeves If in doubt, chuck some money at it Money goes to bloody money And the power it buys Is built on bloody lies Money goes to bloody money And the power it buys Is built on bloody lies

The Captain’s gaze is fixed Ignoring all our cries Unforgiving cliffs Reflected in his eyes The lighthouse Is dead ahead of us Yet here we are Aiming for the rocks The Captain holds his course Concerns are shrugged away He says our fears are false And he’s in charge today The Captain’s on the take (again) His puffed up chest is full Upon those rocks we’ll break He’s going to kill us all The lighthouse Is dead ahead of us Yet here we are Aiming for the rocks The waves of light The waves of light The waves of light The waves of light Are undeniable Yet here we are

Rising Tide 03:25
There’s a rising tide And I’m stuck in the middle Of a fool and shark Who speaks in riddles And the lies they peddle Seem to earn them medals And their crimes are uncharged Deal us your empty words No idea, no clue Spinning endless hot air We see right through you There’s a rising tide And I’m stuck in the middle Of liar and a clown Who’s on the fiddle And the lives they ruin Are but nothing to them And their crimes are uncharged Deal us your empty words No idea, no clue Spinning endless hot air We see right through you Deal us your empty words No idea, no clue Smile your crocodile smile The tide will one day turn on you

Absolutely diabolical scumbags Absolutely diabolical scumbags Greased palms slide money under the table You wouldn’t think they could stoop so low, but they will Pull some strings to see their buddies right The kids are going hungry tonight Absolutely diabolical scumbags Absolutely diabolical scumbags Profiteers stoking fears in the papers Wave machines aimed at the neighbours They’ll turn you out and ship you off at speed A classic tale of corruption and greed Hollow and heartless Two-faced chancers Will leave this place in tatters With their arms full of backhanders Absolutely diabolical scumbags Absolutely diabolical scumbags
