Anyone know the way, to Easy Street?
I hear the kids eat caviar, not boiled sweets
No hungry masters with their hands out for more
No hungry hounds lickin’ crumbs off the floor
No toothless beggars cryin’ out for a fillin’
No shakin’ of jars for a shiny shillin’
They don’t play fiddle to an empty tweed cap
Man in the suit sends the money to their App
Can you show me the way, to Easy Street?
Where the ladies of the night don’t feel the heat
They got flowers in their hands and their curly locks
Picked fresh out the garden not a cardboard box
easy street
And hey, just saw me a cardboard box go by
I guess another neighbour got re-possessed
Gonna get screwed by a fat cat pest
Caught up, splat out, and kicked around
Stitched up, flat out, homeless bound
Just another cardboard box, goes by
Anyone know the way, to Easy Street?
I heard you can learn the art of deceit
But not for blue collar crimes and petty crooks
It’s white collar level outta’ secret books
Accountant plays the fiddle and the fiddle plays on
They’ll get a new fiddle when all the money’s gone
All their ducks in order, they can swim in the moat
Throw a little bread out, when it’s time to vote
Can you show me the way, to Easy Street?
Grand design homes, and the lawns cut neat
All the fancy houses come in separate blocks
Not a broken down, soggy, old cardboard box
And hey, just saw me a cardboard box go by
I guess another neighbour got re-possessed
Gonna get screwed by a fat cat pest
Caught up, splat out, and kicked around
Stitched up, flat out, homeless bound
Just another cardboard box, goes by
If I find my way down, to Easy Street
I’ll give all the fat cats, their own cardboard seat
I won’t charge ‘em rent, or a high interest rate
As long as they accept the terms at the gate..they read
These lyrics are about...the 'haves' and the 'have nots'...and sparing a thought for the less fortunate, wm
‘You’re welcome here, and welcome to remain
But don’t piss down my back and tell me it’s rain
And when your fiddle plays hard to your shares and stocks
Make it play a little harder for every cardboard box'
