With One Eye On Getting Their Pay - McCarthy

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
