Stay One Jump Ahead - Killing Joke

Province, state and country

The great divide has come

Ten percent shall prosper

To them the kingdom come

I can see trends behind trends

I can see

Jack has bought a business

Pete inherits home

Jill has got a trust fund

They’ve all been buying fun

I can see trends behind trends

I can see

Stay one jump ahead

Jack’s alright he’s a predator

He’ll give you three good reasons that’ll change your mind

1) You can’t afford the B.U.P.A.

health scheme

So when you get sick you’re going to die

2) You can’t afford to buy your own property

So when the rent goes up then you’re on the street

3) You can’t afford the bills and pills you need

You’ve got to get them cause they’re going to get you

Anger is your friend now, resentment is the key

Patience as a virtue so be accessary

Or you can always be a victim

A victim of the circumstance if you like?
