Moping in my flat, miserable as fuck
My mates will be out skanking soon and here I will be stuck
No money for a ticket, on debt it’s all been spent
The heartless, greedy landlord wants all I have for rent

I’m sick and tired of all my money being squandered by the rat race
The property ladder is fucked; I can’t afford my own place
I know how to solve this problem, gotta do it fast
We’ll pack our bags and run from here, we’ll have the last laugh

Rent; pay your rent, until every penny’s spent
This age-old feudal system’s difficult to comprehend;
It sees the privileged, aristocrats, the lords and business classes,
Making profit off our backs, while we're forced out on our arses
Rent, rent, rent, rent
Rent, rent, rent, rent
Pay your fucking rent

Dripping from the ceiling, mould growing on the wall
The wealthy getting richer while we’re paying for it all
No free land for us to live on, not even in a tent
They smile and take our earnings when it’s time to pay the rent

I’m sick and tired of all my money being squandered by the rat race
The property ladder is fucked; I can’t afford my own place
Light-footed we exit to the comfort of the street
In the middle of the night while the neighbours are asleep

[Chorus]

The top one percentile don’t ever have to work for their money
Dividends, interest, capital gains and rent from you and me
The rich and poor divide is wider now than in the ‘70s
One percent! One Percent are getting all the rent

I’m sick and tired of all my money being squandered by the rat race
The property ladder is fucked; I can’t afford my own place
One percent, one Percent are getting all the rent
One percent, one Percent are getting all the rent, all the...

[Chorus]

One percent, one percent are getting all the
Rent, rent, rent, rent
Rent, rent, rent, rent
Pay your fucking rent!
