Profiteers Lyrics - Spirit Of The West

there's a cold wind blowin' through the old east side 

it cuts with the devil's curse 

they're turning our people into the streets, while 

the landloards line their purse 

with the greenback dollar of the tourist trade 

there's a fortune to be had 

make way for the out-of-towners, for 

the tenants it's just too bad 

this appears to be their attitude. 

kick 'em until they're down 

they're only welfare cases and 

pensioners and they're easily pushed around 

we've invited the world to come and stay 

and celebrate the fair 

i wonder if the world will understand 

the homeless walkin' there.

i'm alright jack, and how 'bout you? 

i'm gonna catch this wave that's rollin' through 

and turn a trick or two 

i'm alright jack, no flies on me! 

i'm within my rights, my conscience is clear 

i am the profiteer 

the sign says closed for renovation 

this is a con we all see through 

it spreads like a poison through the town, 

monkey see and monkey do 

turn your slum into a mine, squeeze 'em 

hard for every dime 

the people will paint your criminals, but 

you can't see the crime

they're all bastards with no morals, 

overcome by a pitiful greed 

for years they've taken rent from 

the tenants, now they bite the hand that feeds 

they've easily turned a blind eye to 

all pain and despair 

and i pray when they rush is over that 

their gold mines all stand bare 

i'm alright jack and how about you? 

gonna catch me a wave that's
