Scam Lyrics - The Return Of The Space Cowboy - Jamiroquai

You say you fight to give us freedom 

But often more than not this is abused 

And the faces of a tired generation 

have decided they are sick of being used 

for the purpose of current declarations 

Still the same, it'll never change until the end 

Is to buy appreciation of the nation 

To cover the mistakes you must defend 

And you say there'll be a chance for evryone 

to proptest against your calculated greed 

But I can see into the future 

Won't be long before the welfare 

Send me letters telling me how much they need 

And it's not been in my interest to please them 

For the only interest rate to fall is mine 

See a brand new generation in demanding 

What you've been doing with out money all this time 

Scam 

People try living life at speed of light 

Scam 

Don't know why but I have to do the things I do 

Scam 

Give me ten, that's the move I give you five 

Scam 

People say it's the way to stay alive

Every Lyric From Shawn Mendes' Self-Titled New Album 

Watch Janelle Monáe's Sci-Fi film 'Dirty Computer' 

So you see you have to be a schemer 

If you wanna love the life you have to live 

And it don't matter how much I earn 

'Cos I always get my fingers burned 

When the man gets down to his business 

And I've been searching for a reason 

Why I have to give it all up just when I want to get ahead 

See I had to lose car, job, wife, dog and home 

Debts and threats on the telephone 

Maybe I should bust a move instead 

Now we all know when we watch the television 

Not confused between a puppet or conviction 

Glued to the screen by a thousand shallow words of widsom 

It ain't what it seems when it's a single sided system 

Someone's got a hold on my living 

So I'm gonna have to do the things that's fair 

They got to justify for what I should be giving 

Should I lie, should I steal or should I care 

'Cos now I've got to scam
