No peace for the wicked - only war on the poor
They're batting on pickets - trying to even the score
It's all inclusive - the dirt comes free
And you can be all that you want to be
Oh an equal chance and an equal pay
But equally there's no equal pay
There's room on top - if you tow the line
And if you believe all this you must be out of your mind
There's only room for those the same
Those who play the leeches game
Don't get settled in this place
The lodger's terms are in disgrace
Getcha brains blown out - in a captain's mess
Stand for the queen if you can stand the test
It's all thrown in and the lies come free
And you can be all that they want you to be
Oh if you work hard you can be the boss
But if you don't work at all then that's nobody's loss
There's room on top - if you dig in low
And the idea is what they reap you sow
With an old school tie and a reference
You can cover up crimes in their defence
It's all thrown in and the lies come free
And you can be all that they want you to be
The lyrics LODGERS of THE STYLE COUNCIL is also present in the album The singular adventures of the style council (1989)
Gli Style Council sono stati una band britannica di musica pop-soul, attiva dal 1982 al 1989. Fondati da Paul Weller, già frontman dei Jam, e Mick Talbot, il gruppo ha combinato influenze soul, jazz e funk con un approccio melodico e raffinato. I loro album, come "Café Bleu" (1983) e "Our Favourite Shop" (1984), hanno raggiunto il successo commerciale in Gran Bretagna, grazie a brani come "Speak Like A Child", "You're The Best Thing", e "The Lodgers". Gli Style Council sono stati un gruppo innovativo che ha contribuito a definire l'estetica e la musica della scena britannica degli anni '80. Weller, con il suo stile sartoriale e le sue canzoni introspettive, è diventato un'icona di stile e una figura chiave nella storia del rock britannico.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
