Heron Tower, wealth and power, it's all glass and steel
Down beneath, the dirty streets they can't see or feel
From The Shard they say if he worked hard he wouldn't have to claim
He's just a two-time loser from an East End boozer, they're all the same
Isn't that just wonderful for you, but what about me?
It's not that they don't care, they pay their share, but ultimately
It's dog eat dog so get a job 'cos lunch ain't free
Regeneration and wealth creation and an economy
Built on the sweat and losing bets of men like me
Isn't that just wonderful for you, but what about me?
Back in the Heron Tower it's happy hour, the drinks are free
The bill gets paid but they'll never say it's state subsidy
Win-win situation, one-way conversation, they make the rules
They have no shame, they've rigged the game, they just can't lose
Isn't that just wonderful for you, but what about me?
