Jamiroquai - Scam Lyrics
Written by jay kay, stuart zender and toby smithYou say you fight to give us freedomBut often more than not this is abusedAnd the faces of a tired generationHave decided they are sick of being usedFor the purpose of current declarationsStill the same, it will never change until the endIs to buy the appreciation of the nationTo cover the mistakes you must defendAnd you say there will be a chance for eveyoneTo protest against your calculated greedBut I can see into the futureWont be long before the welfareSend me letters telling me how much they needAnd its not been in my interest to please themFor the only interest rate to fall is mineSee a brand new generation is demandingWhat youve been doing with our money all this timeScam, people try to live at the speed of lightScam, dont know why but Ive got to do the things I doScam, give me ten, thats the move I give you fiveScam, people say its the way to stay aliveSo you see you have to be a schemerIf you wanna love the life you have to liveAnd I dont matter how much I earnCos I always get my fingers burnedWhen the man gets down to his businessAnd Ive been searching for a reasonWhy I have to give it all up just I want to get aheadSee I had to lose car, job, wife, dog and homeDebts and threats on the phoneMaybe I should bust a move insteadNow we all know when we watch televisionNot confused between a puppet or convictionGlued to the screen by a thousand shallow words of wisdomIt aint what it seems when its a single sided systemSomeones got to hold on my livingSo Im gonna have to do the thing thats fairThey got to justify for what I should be givingShould I lie, should I steal or should I careCos now Ive got to scam!
