Every one knows
Everyone knows
Our government is cruel
Just look at the prices
We pay for our fuel
How is it other countries?
Pay so much less?
There’s no logical reason
For our excess
How can the politicians
Account for this
Do you think like me?
There taking the piss
Our road taxes
Are very baffling too
That’s something else
That doesn’t ring true
Have you ever looked closely
At the state of our roads
Most of them look like
There about to implode
To the highways commission
A small percentage is sent
But where is the rest of it
Being f******g spent
Here’s another item we need
Just to stay alive
But with the high cost of food
How can we survive?
In America Canada
Australia too
Do you know how much
A giant steak will cost you
a lot less than a chicken leg here
I can tell you!
(Chorus)
We refused to be ripped of anymore
We want prices to plummet
Right down to the floor
Cigarettes, beer, petrol and clothes
Everyone knows
We pay through the nose!
The price we pay for cars
Is suspect too
Foreigners pay
A lot less than we do
For cars built in this country
The price is crap!
It’s cheaper to send them abroad
And buy them back!
Is there any way this makes sense
Is there any justification?
For this expense?
(Chorus)
We refused to be ripped of anymore
We want prices to plummet
Right down to the floor
Cigarettes, beer, petrol and clothes
Everyone knows
We pay through the nose!
Think about our medical insurance
And our car insurance too
In other countries they pay
Far less than we do
And look at the state
Of our national health
Youll wait years for an operation
Unless you have wealth
Look at how much our nurses
Are not getting paid
By whose f*****g rules
Is this game being played?
(Chorus)
We refused to be ripped of anymore
We want prices to plummet
Right down to the floor
Cigarettes, beer, petrol and clothes
Everyone knows
We pay through the nose!
Just look at how our poor pensioners
Are being treated
For what they receive
There truly being cheated
We don’t pay them enough
To pay them respect
It’s about half what an asylum seeker
Can expect
That’s your father your mother
And soon to be you!
Isn’t there something
That we can do?
Now
If I mention the words education
To you
Youll know right away
What our children go through
An antiquated system
With loosing results
While the rest of Europe
Hurls at us insults
It’s not our children’s faults
It’s yours and mine
For allowing this……this
Embarrassing decline
Yes
The government’s at fault
And so are you
So let’s here once more
What were gonna do!
(Chorus)
We refused to be ripped of anymore
We want prices to plummet
Right down to the floor
Cigarettes, beer, petrol and clothes
Everyone knows
We pay through the nose!
Surely you can guess
What’s coming next?
What have they done?
To the price of our cigarettes
They have put ciggy prices
On to a rocket
And sent them spiralling
Out of our pocket!
Just look how much cheaper
You can buy them in Spain
It would be cheaper for us
To charter a plane
(Than go to the local tobacconist)
Oh! That reminds me
If you want to get pissed
What have they done?
To the price of our booze
I reckon we all should
Refuse, to pay it
I’m seriously thinking
Of becoming a monk
Now I can’t afford to smoke
Or get drunk
I’m sure this thought
Has often occurred to you!
So let’s hear once more
What were gonna do!
(Chorus)
We refused to be ripped of anymore
We want prices to plummet
Right down to the floor
Cigarettes, beer, petrol and clothes
Everyone knows
We pay through the nose!
(Chorus)
We refused to be ripped of anymore
We want prices to plummet
Right down to the floor
Cigarettes, beer, petrol and clothes
Everyone knows
We pay through the nose!
