With One Eye On Getting Their Pay Lyrics


With one eye on getting their pay
The lackeys of the well-off say
That we always are the best
And new ways get us nowhereNothing changes, nothing changes, for the bestLook in the bible you will see how
The people went on the same as now
They cheated and lied the same
They loved and died the same
Nothing changes, nothing changes, for the bestThe well-off pray there'll be no more change
To the perfect world they've made
After all if fair Britain stays the same
They'll hold onto their ill-gotten waysWhenever the mentally unsound
Try to turn our lives upside down
They hope to improve the world
They have only made it worseNothing changes, nothing changes, for the bestThe well-off pray there'll be no more change
To the perfect world they've made
After all if fair Britain stays the same
They'll hold on to their ill-gotten things
With one eye on getting their pay

The lackeys of the well-off say
That we our always the best
And new ways get us nowhereNothing changes, nothing changes, for the best

There are 2 bands with this name. 1. McCarthy were a British indie pop band, formed in Barking, East London in 1985 by schoolmates Malcolm Eden, Tim Gane, John Williamson and Gary Baker. They mixed a sweetly melodic style, dominated by Gane's 12-string guitar playing, with Eden's overtly political lyrics, often satirical in tone, which reflected the band's far left leanings. After a string of singles, including 'Red Sleeping Beauty' and 'Frans Hals', and a track on the NME c86 album, their debut album 'I Am A Wallet' was released in 1987 to much critical acclaim.
