You've got landlords in the Dail, auctioneers in the council chambers,
middlemen one and all For these smooth operators,
crowds of cuckoo funds, vultures, and speculators,
all lined up one by one to get their cut of the takings,
you have these so-called Innovators and entrepreneurs,
but none of the above created, invented, or cured,
just latched onto the thing that makes them rich while the poor,
must apply their own stitches with cuts too deep to endure,
never made pay for their mistakes only paid for their favours,
using the money they made from taking you to the cleaners,
they never risk themselves but still, they're the risks takers,
Where the only risks taken are the lives they forsake as,
you've got landlords in the Dail auctioneers in the council chambers,
middlemen one and all For these smooth operators,
crowds of cuckoo funds, vultures, and speculators,
All lined up one by one to get their cut of the takings,
We got ce schemes with forced volunteerism,
in a fictional paradise feeding this apparition,
of these so-called moderates commitment to free-market religion,
as they barter your health shur it's all part of tradition,
where the only freedom is if you're on the commission,
helping them to steal through legalised requisition,
And These liberals dreams bonded in this realism,
for living in a land that gave these pricks recognition,
You've got landlords in the Dail, auctioneers in the council chambers,
middlemen one and all For these smooth operators,
crowds of cuckoo funds, vultures, and speculators,
all lined up one by one to get their cut of the takings,
We got scumbags in the parliaments' police on the streets,
reinforce them with armaments for keeping the peace,
but for who do they keep the peace? well just look around,
who has your representative's ear while the law keeps you down,
cause these TDS don't like building houses they can't rent,
once their pockets filled up they proudly shouted represent,
and these councillors they hate houses that they can't sell,
to their friends of friends in high places and spouses as well,
a stitch Up fill the coffers, watch these fuckers all lose,
Their shit from rejected offers that can't be refused,
Cause Middle management is where the greed it colludes,
and empty promises and lies are all part of the ruse,
You've got landlords in the Dail, auctioneers in the council chambers,
middlemen one and all For these smooth operators,
crowds of cuckoo funds, vultures, and speculators,
all lined up one by one to get their cut of the takings,
