What are we going to do about the rich? - Pet Shop Boys

What are we gonna do about the rich?

What are we gonna do about the rich?

What are we gonna do about the rich?

Come on, well come on!

They say democracy is simply very bad for business

While deploring student protests in the middle of Hong Kong

They insist that people have to work on zero contracts everywhere

So profit margins grow and shares are very strong

But one group that they never take to task

And one question that they never seem to ask is:

What are we gonna do about the rich?

What are we gonna do about the rich?

What are we gonna do about the rich?

Come on, well come on!

They’re buying football clubs today with absolute impunity

And so much of the media to give themselves the power

To destroy the very notion and the feeling of community

While poisoning the public discourse hour by hour

But although it never seems to make it into Hansard

The question at some point must still be answered, oh

What are we gonna do about the rich?

What are we gonna do about the rich?

What are we gonna do about the rich?

Come on, well come on!

What are we gonna do about the rich?

What are we gonna do about the rich?

What are we gonna do about the rich?

Come on, well come on!

They’re avoiding paying taxes

While the welfare state collapses

Their extravagance and arrogance

Their lack of checks to balance this

Their lawyers and their attitude

The scale of their ingratitude

They only give to charity

For maximum publicity

What are we gonna do about the rich?

What are we gonna do about the rich?

What are we gonna do about the rich?

Come on, well come on!

What are we gonna do about the rich?

What are we gonna do about the rich?

What are we gonna do about the rich?

Come on, well come on!
