The Big Bastards

Intro

Oi

Yeah

Nah listen up

Have a little squeeze at this

Verse 1

Working my fingers right down to the bone

Pay slips look like they were thrown in a blender

Uncle Sam's Aussie cousin takes his massive cut

Then I head to the shops for a spend

Ten percent extra on every loaf of bread

Thirty-seven percent gone before I even wake

How come my wallet feels so light

While the skyscrapers never seem to shake

Pre-Chorus

It is a bloody joke

Keeping us completely broke

Chorus

Zero dollars

Zero cents

While we are struggling just to pay the rent

Big bastards making billions in the sun

While the taxman chases everyone but the big ones

Zero dollars

Zero cents

Yeah the logic does not make any sense

Verse 2

JBS processing all of that cattle meat

Nineteen billion coming through the front door

Santos and AGL pumping out the gas

Yet they do not give a single cent back

Microsoft and Sony sitting on a gold mine

Transurban owns the roads where we sit in traffic

Murdoch and Netflix streaming all the cash away

It is all legal and it is absolutely tragic

Pre-Chorus

They close the shops

While we call the cops

Chorus

Zero dollars

Zero cents

While we are struggling just to pay the rent

Big bastards making billions in the sun

While the taxman chases everyone but the big ones

Zero dollars

Zero cents

Yeah the logic does not make any sense

Bridge

Labour and the Libs are shaking hands

Walking round the lobby with their secret plans

Refusing to close up the massive loopholes

Letting these giants swallow our souls

I am paying nearly half my pay

Just to watch the titans walk away

Chorus

Zero dollars

Zero cents

While we are struggling just to pay the rent

Big bastards making billions in the sun

While the taxman chases everyone but the big ones

Zero dollars

Zero cents

Yeah the logic does not make any sense
