From the recording Losing the Wild
Lyrics
Who pays the piper to play his song
Who foots the bill when it all goes wrong
It’s not the guy on the factory floor
It’s the one on the top floor with the big posh door
Did you hear it on the news
They need more money to help with the poor
The schools and nurses also need some too
and who’s going to pay apparently it’s you
Who pays the piper to play his song
Who foots the bill when it all goes wrong
It’s not the guy on the factory floor
It’s the one on the top floor with the big posh door
Did you hear it on the news
The trains are broken the roads full of cracks
They promise fixes but money is due
Who’s going to pay I think we know who
Who pays the piper to play his song
Who foots the bill when it all goes wrong
It’s not the guy on the factory floor
It’s the one on the top floor with the big posh door
Did you hear it on the news
People shouting their political views
You’ve got the fortune you’re where it’s at
So you can pay for this why not all of that
They talk of fairness on the evening news
But the scales are tipped in the way they choose
They shout and march they bang on the gate
For the higher you climb You lift the weight
Who pays the piper to play his song
Who foots the bill when it all goes wrong
It’s not the guy on the factory floor
It’s the one on the top floor with the big posh door
