Lyrics
Boom boom boom boom boom
Boom boom boom boom boom
Boom boom boom boom boom
Boom boom boom boom
I got in confrontation with my boss
And he implied I'm fake at my job
Yet the only fake thing that I do
Is pretending to respect you
Talking to people the way you do
Encourages people to dislike you
I never needed a reason, no no
I just disliked your manners
And I'm so glad that I'm not you
The only people on your friends list
Are yourself and you
The higher at the top, the less I trust you
And I'd rather, shake hands with the cleaner
Even after, they've cleaned the loo (haha)
So what did I do? I resigned from my job
No thanks to you
(Boom)
Money money money money money
I'm fighting to save my soul (boom boom boom boom)
It ain't funny funny funny funny funny
When you're one step from the doll (boom boom boom boom)
Money money money money money
I'm fighting to save my soul (boom boom boom boom)
It ain't funny funny funny funny funny
When you're one step, one step from the doll
People spend their doll on a can and a joint
Instead of their best to try and prove a point
The people that do try and care
Have very little money to spare
And times are tough and money is tight
Whether you're working the day
Or you're working the night
The pension age keeps rising so high, (so high)
I'll be retired at ninety five
In these times of war, people fight to survive
Instead of shooting guns, we're chasing nine to fives
Sending out our CV's, hoping for replies
Those black ink pages have those little white lies
Interview arranged and I won't be late
And my shoes are polished and my tie is straight
I'm then welcomed by supervisor Matt
Who says "it ain't formal, it's just a chat"
(Boom)
Money money money money money
I'm fighting to save my soul (save my soul)
It ain't funny funny funny funny funny
When you're one step from the doll
Money money money money money
I'm fighting to save my soul (save my soul)
It ain't funny funny funny funny funny
When you're one step, one step from the doll
Ten applications, seven interviews
Four pairs of trousers and a new pair of shoes
Not enough money to fuel a car
But I've got enough to buy myself a Mars bar
My P45 will arrive in the post
So let's raise a glass and let's raise a toast
My regular income is stopped for a while
I'll be sitting here watching Jeremy Kyle
Welcome to my rock and roll lifestyle, oh
(Boom)
Dear Robin
After careful consideration
We regret to inform you that your application
Will not be taken further on this occasion
(Boom boom boom boom)
Money money money money money
I'm fighting to save my soul (save my soul)
It ain't funny funny funny funny funny
When you're one step from the doll (from the doll)
Money money money money money
I'm fighting to save my soul (save my soul)
It ain't funny funny funny funny funny
When you're one step, (one step) one step from the doll
I saved this verse for the final part
It was a year ago we had a heart to heart
You said " I'm sorry Mr Shaw
You can't cope with the changes in our store"
Who are you to tell me what to do?
Here is my opinion of you
You're overrated, overpaid, uneducated
And you need a shave
This conversation still makes me mad
Go and play this song on your four inch iPad
You'll soon hear this in your nearest town
Never let someone talk you down
Today's a new day
Let the song spin
Let the beat play
Let the beat play
Hey!
Boom boom boom boom
Boom boom boom boom
Boom boom boom boom
Boom boom boom boom
Boom boom
