pensioners and they're easily pushed around
we've invited the world to come and stay
and celebrate the fair
i wonder if the world will understand
the homeless walkin' there.
i'm alright jack, and how 'bout you?
i'm gonna catch this wave that's rollin' through
and turn a trick or two
i'm alright jack, no flies on me!
i'm within my rights, my conscien
ce is clear
i am the profiteer
the sign says closed for renovation
this is a con we all see through
it spreads like a poison through the town,
monkey see and monkey do
turn your slum into a mine, squeeze 'em
hard for every dime
the people will paint your criminals, but
you can't see the crime
- chorus -
they're all bastards with no morals,
overcome by a pitiful greed
for years they've taken rent from
the tenants, now they bite the hand that feeds
they've easily turned a blind eye to
all pain and despair
and i pray when they rush is over that
their gold mines all stand bare
i'm alright jack and how about you?
gonna catch me a wave that's
rollin' throught and turn a trick or two
i'm alright jack, no flies on me!!
i'm within my rights, my conscience clear
i am the profiteer.
