Intro:
The world owes me a living
I waited on this dole queue too long
I've been standin' in the rain for fifteen minutes -
that's a quarter of an hour too long
oh oh ho, oh oh ho
I'll take all they can give me
And then I'm gonna ask for more
Cos the money's buried deep in the bank of England
and I want the key to the vault
Chorus: N..
I'm gonna take your money! Count your loss when I'm gone.
N..
N..
I'm alright Jack! Lookin' after number one
If I want something I get it
Don't matter what I have to do
I'll step on your face, on your mother's grave
never underestimate me I'm nobody's fool
oh oh ho, oh oh ho
I don't owe no-one nothing
If it's me, they must come to
Stop, look, think, baby
I always get what I want and I want to get you
(Repeat chorus)
Don't wanna be like you, I don't wanna live like you
Don't wanna talk like you, at all
One Hit Chords: / / /
Solo Chords: / / / / / /
(like don't wanna be ... bit)
Don't give me love thy neighbour
Don't give me charity
Don't give me peace and love or the good lord above,
you only get in my way with your stupid ideas
I am an island
Entire of myself
And when I get old, older than today
I'll never need anybody's help in any way.
(Repeat chorus)
Don't wanna be like you, I don't wanna live like you
Don't wanna talk like you, at all
I'm gonna be like, I'm gonna be like, I'm gonna be like - Me!
