lyrics

Generosity killed the fat cats
Curiosity takes the blame
The press coverage takes the biscuit again and again and again 
Generosity takes a life time
I heard charity starts today
We all dream about winning a fortune and blowing it all away

So are you working hard or hardly working, working hard or hardly working
Working hard or hardly working at all?

Generosity killed the fat cats
The prime minister swiped the cream
In a move reminiscent of previous tyrannical regimes
Generosity killed the fat cats
They keep trying to go out in style
To leave most of the rest of the country to wake up with Jeremy Kyle

So are you working hard or hardly working, working hard or hardly working
Working hard or hardly working at all - all?

I've been trying to write an epitaph
That makes you smile and makes you laugh
And makes you think but make you think much better
