Jamiroquai: Scam

You say you fight to give us freedom
But often more than not this is abused
And the faces of a tired generation
Have decided they are sick of being used
For the purpose of current declarations
Still the same, itll never change until the end
Is to buy appreciation of the nation
To cover the mistakes you must defend
And you say therell be a chance for everyone
to protest against your calculated greed
But I can see into the future
Wont be long before the welfare
Send me letters telling me how much they need
And its not been in my interest to please them
For the only interest rate to fall is mine
See a brand new generation is demanding
What youve been doing with our money all this time
Scam
People try living life at speed of light
Scam
Dont know why but I have to do the things I do
Scam
Give me ten, thats the move I give you five
Scam
People say its the way to stay alive
So you see you have to be a schemer
If you wanna love the life you have to live
And it dont matter how much I earn
Cause I always get my fingers burned
When The Man gets down to his business
And Ive been searching for a reason
Why I have to give it all up just when I want to get ahead
See I had to lose car, job, wife, dog and home
Debts and threats on the telephone
Maybe I should bust a move instead
Now we all know when we watch the television
Not confused between a puppet or conviction
Glued to the screen by a thousand shallow words of widsom
It aint what it seems when its a single sided system
Someones got a hold on my living
So Im gonna have to do the thing thats fair
They got to justify for what I should be giving
Should I lie, should I steal or should I care?
Cause now Ive got to scam
