Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! - Sonic Boom Six

Maybe it’s a sign of the times when the Woolworths signs

Coming down and the doors all closed

They say the higher that the monkey climb

Well the more that the arse exposed

I don’t know, whether I won’t go

And lend some of that dough

Cash machine shown, all my cash blown

And the man that I meet on the high street giving me the slip for the bank loan.

Money mad!

Gone money mad!

People on the television gone money mad!

All very well they say love what you have,

But Marks and Sparks got a sale and a half,

Want it so bad, But it’s so sad

That we gotta borrow money that we never had,

Yeah well that plastic feel fantastic

But if you following the dominos a toppling this thing getting drastic

All their smiles are sarcastic

Course they gonna be enthusiastic

Gullible muggins a dream come true

Debit and the credit are crunching you

They got you for life and they charge for it too

Bang, bang, bang, what the fuck can you do?

The shit that you bought now to pay for it later

Is up on the shelves inna Cash Generator

See you later alligator

What do you get when you borrow their money?

You receive a load of cash as easy as can be

They pass the debt to another company

Add the charges till infinity

Bang bang bang bang!

They’re knocking at your door

More than you bargained for

Can’t ignore

Any more

Bang bang bang bang!

Make sure you know the score

They can’t enter by force

But they trying to change the law

The big bad wolf banging on your door

Coming up into your realm to settle the score

A pound of flesh and nothing less

Undertones of violence

If you care for your neck, don’t gamble it

Playing card games with a loaded deck

Your gonna find yourself up to your neck

In a sea of sharks, reality is stark

When it’s raining stones seven days a week

And you’re finding it hard to make ends meet

The bait’s within the junk mail at your feet

Such a cinch to release the pinch and breathe

A sigh of relief Beef

Bang bang bang now you’ve been got

Should’ve cut your coat to suit your cloth

Now you’re dealing with a man like Tansey

Don’t fuck around or make him angry

You duck down behind the sofa

Don’t be an idiot he’s seen yer through the window

He’s gonna be the the ruler of this place

No hard feelings it’s just business

Take off those fucking rings

Neither borrower nor lender be

For loan oft lose itself and friend

come tomorrow wake from your sleep

to a life sentence that knows no end

Fell this sorrow remember to be

Clever with the credit, better don’t get it

See the horrible truth come clean

They’re after your soul,

Not just your money

If they’re feeding on you like they’re feeding on me

Then come help me bust one two shot three

At the self-serving cynical greedy

Gangsta original bad company

They prey on the poor when they can’t pay back

Money that they really couldn’t afford to knock back

Held back with a debt any chance that they get

Crime that the government aid and abett

Mercers knocking down my front door

For their charges, who knows what they charge for?

Added to my last one, they pulled a fast one

Now he’s pushed past me, got his foot in the door

Oh fuck!

Banging for my buck

Looks like I finally ran out of luck

Now he’s piling my sound system in a truck

While I pay for the privilege, man this a suck!

Bwoy him a crook!
