| Original Source: | LyricWiki |
| The world owes me a living I've waited on this dole queue too long I've been standin' in the rain for fifteen minutes That's a quarter of an hour too long. I'll take all they can give me And then I'm gonna ask for more Cos the money's buried deep in the bank of England And I want the key to the vault CHORUS: I'm gonna take your money Count your loss when I'm gone. I'm alright, Jack, I'm lookin' after number one. If I want something I get it Don't matter what I have to do I'll step on your face, on your mother's grave Never underestimate me I'm nobody's fool (repeat chorus) Don't wanna be like you. Don't wanna live like you. Don't wanna talk like you, at all. Don't give me love thy neighbour Don't give me charity Don't give me peace and love or the good lord above You only get in my way with your stupid ideas I am an island Entire of myself And when I get old, older than today I'll never need anybody's help in any way. (repeat chorus) Don't wanna be like you. Don't wanna live like you. Don't wanna talk like you, at all. I'm gonna be like I'm gonna be like I'm gonna be like ME! | |
