Lyrics

Cheats never prosper, crime don't pay, the meek shall inherit come judgement day
Peace in our time, no pain no gain, management decisions, insurance claims
The slow but sure will always win it, there's one born every minute

Chorus
It's a lie

The cheque's in the post, you won't feel a thing, the power of prayer and the deadly sins
You're as young as you feel, your mother knows best, the truth will out, young man go west
The end can justify the means, god save the queen

Chorus

Breeding counts, lambs to the slaughter, who dares wins, blood's thicker than water
Expense accounts, graduation days, a friend in need, a spade's a spade
The power and the glory, the country's burning, the lady's not for turning

Chorus

Mega-buck deals, interest rates, fortune tellers and the hand of fate
Credit ratings, human rights, the seven wonders, another street fight
Global warming and cleaner seas, here come the cavalry

Chorus
