Song Of The Government Minister Who Enjoys His Work Lyrics - Chumbawamba

Test the water feel the ground 

Send the tax collectors round 

Fill the coffers pound by pound 

A surer way to keep in line 

The rabble who spend half their time 

Wishing they could have what's mine 

Stamping on the people's hands 

This is where I'll make my stand 

This is how I'll rule this land 

I'll push and push a little more 

I'll push and goad and tease the poor 

A good excuse to fight my war 

The war between have-nots and haves 

My little game of smash and grab 

Turn the screw increase the tax 

Friend or foe, who goes there? 

Turns his coat and takes the rear 

Sings the Red Flag once a year
