Lyrics Ripoff - Ian Hunter

Ripoff

I don’t wanna be no traitor to the cause\nBut England is a luxury — not many can afford\nThere’s people going under — it’s getting out of hand\nWhatever happened to our — our green and pleasant land?\nIt turned into a wilderness; it turned into a third world country\nMost people ain’t getting what they pay for\nSome people gettin' more than they should be I know, I know — I’m an alien — but what are you gonna do I wanna live in England — but it gets to you\nIt gets to you, it gets to you, it gets to you\nI really don’t know why — England’s such a ripoff\nIt’s crazy, but it’s true\nI really don’t know why — England wants to rip off you\nEngland wants to rip off you, England wants to rip off you\nWhat do you do when you find out?\nWhere do you go if you leave?\nThere’s no place like home — that’s what they say\nAnd that’s what you always believed\nSomeday you might win the Lottery\nSomeday you might win the Pools\nBut that’s all you’ve got — that’s all you’ve got\n— to live for, to live for\nThat’s all you’ve got — that’s all you’ve got —\nTo live for, to live for (yeah)\nTo be or not to be — that’s the question\nOh what’s it gonna be?\nI’d love to live in England — but it gets to me It gets to me, it gets to me, yeah it gets to me\nI really don’t know why — England’s such a ripoff\nIt’s crazy, but it’s true\nI really don’t know why — England wants to rip off you\nEngland wants to rip off you, England wants to rip off you\nI really don’t know why — England’s such a ripoff\nIt’s crazy, but it’s true\nOh I really don’t know why — England wants to rip off\nEngland wants to rip off, England wants to rip off
