Your shoes, they were bought in Boohoos
Your dress is from Taiwan
Your bedding’s from Malaysia
Your ruck sack’s from Amazon
That skirt you wear comes from the Philippines
And the phone you use is a Lumia Grey
It was put together in Chengdu
By a girl making seven Yuan a day
Well, it’s sundown on the Goldstone
West Pier and the Corn Exchange
A train ride to the Amex
Where no-one thinks it’s strange
Thirty-six quid for a football match
You play their game and pay
Sure was a good idea
Until greed got in the way
Well, your dress is made in Suzhou
And all our cars are from Japan
Your silk scarf was bought in Primark
The Fat Face jeans from Pakistan
All the furniture, it says “Made in Brazil”
Where a woman, she slaved for sure
Bringing home 60 pence a day to a family of twelve
You know, that’s a lot of money to her
Well, it’s sundown on the Goldstone
West Pier and the Corn Exchange
A train ride to the Amex
Where no-one thinks it’s strange
Thirty-six quid for a football match
You play their game and pay
Sure was a good idea
Until greed got in the way
You know, capitalism is above the law
Because “It don’t count unless it sells”
When it costs too much to build it at home
You just build it cheaper somewhere else
Democracy doesn’t rule the world
That’s something you need to understand
This world is ruled by bankers
Who use politics as a sleight-of-hand
Well, it’s sundown on the Goldstone
West Pier and the Corn Exchange
A train ride to the Amex
Where no-one thinks it’s strange
Thirty-six quid for a football match
You play their game and pay
Sure was a good idea
Until greed got in the way
