(Verse 3 as before)
I saw the spectre of charity
And he didn't seem too brotherly.
Propping up what should be blown away.
A brotherhood of man in disarray.
I got hit by the dreamer's disease.
Where your big ideas don't make connection
with your buckling knees.
We saw the greed and agreed that it sucked
But they said "Don't laugh at money
'cause it's bad, bad luck!".
Get outta London.
Get outta London.
