The Lodgers (or She Was Only A Shopkeeper's Daughter) Lyrics - The Style Council

No peace for the wicked only war on the poor 

They're batting on pickets trying to even the score 

It's all inclusive and the dirt comes free 

And you can be all that you want to be 

Oh, an equal chance and an equal pay 

But equally there's no equal pay 

There's room on top if you tow the line 

And if you believe all this you must be out of your mind 

There's only room for those the same 

Those who play the leeches game 

Don't get settled in this place 

The lodgers terms are in disgrace 

An equal chance and an equal pay 

But equally there's no equal pay

Getcha brains blown out in a captain's mess 

Stand for the Queen if you can stand the test 

It's all thrown in and the lies come free 

And you can be all that they want you to be 

There's only room for those the same 

Those who play the leeches game 

Don't get settled in this place 

The lodgers terms are in disgrace 

Oh, if you work hard you can be the boss 

But if you don't work at all then that's nobody's loss 

There's room on top if you dig in low 

The idea is what they reap you sow 

With an old school tie and a reference 

You can cover up crimes in their defense 

It's all thrown in and the lies come free 

And you can be all that they want you to be

The lodgers terms are in disgrace 

Only room for those the same 

Those who play the leeches game

Only room for those the same
