What Are We Going To Do About The Rich? Lyrics - Pet Shop Boys

What are we going to do about the rich? 

What are we going to do about the rich? 

What are we going to do about the rich? 

Come on! Well come on! 

They say democracy is simply very bad for business 

while deploring student protests in the middle of Hong Kong 

They insist that people have to work on zero contracts everywhere 

so profit margins grow and shares are very strong 

But one group that they never take to task 

And one question that they never seem to ask is: 

What are we going to do about the rich? 

What are we going to do about the rich? 

What are we going to do about the rich? 

Come on! Well come on!

They're buying football clubs today with absolute impunity 

and so much of the media to give themselves the power 

to destroy the very notion and the feeling of community 

while poisoning the public discourse hour by hour 

But although it never seems to make it into Hansard 

the question at some point must still be answered, oh 

What are we going to do about the rich? 

What are we going to do about the rich? 

What are we going to do about the rich? 

Come on! Well come on! 

They're avoiding paying taxes 

while the welfare state collapses 

Their extravagance and arrogance 

Their lack of tact to balance this 

Their lawyers and their attitude 

The scale of their ingratitude 

They only give to charity 

for maximum publicity 

What are we going to do about the rich? 

What are we going to do about the rich? 

What are we going to do about the rich? 

Come on! Well come on!
