Why Not?

Oh dear, oh dear, the banks lost all their money (How careless)
So the government gave them ours to lose as well (What a cheat)
And now it seems we're all in this together (That's a relief)
The rent's due and there's nothing left to sell (Oh no)
We'll all have to work harder and get less
Is there an alternative? I say yes (I say yes)

Make the rich pay, why not?
Make the rich pay, why not?
We don't have any money
'Cause they got lots and lots
Make the rich pay, why not?

Well it's funny how the rich keep getting richer (How extraordinary)
It's funny how the money's all been lost (It's gone)
You wonder where it went to at the checkout (It's just vanished)
When you find out just how much more things all cost (Blimey)
So next time they ask you, "How do you want to pay?
Cash or credit card?" Here's what I say (Here's what I say)

Make the rich pay, why not?
Make the rich pay, why not?
We don't have any money
'Cause they got lots and lots
Make the rich pay, why not?

Now when I'm strolling down the London road
There's this hawksband where I sometimes likes to go
'Cause the clothes there only costs a quid or two (Very reasonable)
And it goes to those less fortunate than you (And charitable)
'Cause when it comes to global poverty
There's only one solution you'll agree (You will agree)

Make the rich pay, why not?
Make the rich pay, why not?
We don't have any money
'Cause they got lots and lots
Make the rich pay, why not?

Now money's the root cause of all that evil (All that evil)
Like an apple's why we're in the state we're in (The state we're in)
Some people think we're waiting for the rapture (Glory Hallelujah)
When Jesus comes for payback on our sins (On our sins)
Come Judgement Day, my conscience will be clear (Will be clear)
I'll hear them angels singing loud and clear (Loud and clear)

Make the rich pay, why not?
Make the rich pay, why not?
We don't have any lolly
'Cause they got lots and lots
Make the rich pay, why not? (All together!)
Make the rich pay, why not?
Make the rich pay, why not?
We don't have any money
'Cause they got lots and lots
Make the rich pay, why not?
