Whose side are you on?
Tell me, whose side are you on?
Both my children are crying
What do I say?
Do I articulate my yearning?
Do I tell them the money you're earning
Depends on their earth burning away?
Do I tell them that my father lay dying with no hospital bed?
While the champagne was flowing and some agency head
Toasts good figures month gone
Whose side are you on?
My landlord now wants more
My landlord now wants more
He says that prices soared
But how do I pay?
There is no job I could get
To afford the three of us yet
I'm at home purposeless, bored
With each endless day
Remembering my father laying dying with no hospital bed
While the champagne was flowing and some agency head
Toasts good figures month gone
Whose side are they on?
♪
The papers put me down
The papers put me down
They say I lay around taking
What workers have made
My children asked me why
I had to tell a lie
That my degree was worth
Every penny I paid
I didn't tell them that my father lay dying with no hospital bed
While the champagne was flowing and some agency head
Toasts good figures month gone
Whose side am I on?
I didn't tell them that the man they revered
Moved to house number three
Paying just for himself, his whole lies fell on me
A promiscuous woman who can't keep her man
Who fails both her children just to hold out her hand
To take whatever is going
Whose side are you on?
