What Did We Do To You To Deserve This?

[Verse 1]
You forgot to tell the truth, now it's too far away
When the auditors add it up in the books, will you keep them at bay?
You forgot to censor yourself with your limited brain
And there's a look upon your face that says that you can't take the strain

[Pre-Chorus]
What's that look upon your face?
No, this is not the good old days

[Chorus]
What did we do to you to deserve this?
You're doing everything you can to preserve this

[Verse 2]
You look out for your mates and yourself and that's natural, I'd say
But then you trample over the less well off and downtrodden they stay
You forgot to mention the fact that inequality remains
And opportunity rarely knocks if your background is viewed with disdain

[Pre-Chorus]
What's that look upon your face?
No, this is not the good old days

[Chorus]
What did we do to you to deserve this?
You're doing everything you can to preserve this

[Post-Chorus]
Let's all pretend to tell the truth
Above all, I hope I've been of use

[Pre-Chorus]
What's that look upon your face?
No, this is not the good old days

[Chorus]
What did we do to you to deserve this?
You're doing everything in your power to preserve this

[Post-Chorus]
Let's all pretend to tell the truth
Above all, well I hope I've been of use
