Force on the Workforce (Keith Hancock) I was always raised to stand on my own No one gave a damn if I fell on my face Never taken for a fool, And though I found it hard at school I found a niche in the market place Didn't want to get a job, started on my own Borrowed from the bank and was on my own Soon I had a company car, the mobile phone And all the other trappings of the working day I never use any force on the work force And though I might lack some charm I never held a gun to a head in my life I've never done no harm (nobody no harm) Buy a little of this, sell a little of that Bung a lot of profit on and here we go Profit margins, stock control, keeping people off the dole Then sit back and watch the money grow The more I make the more I need, But what's that got to do with greed? I've got overhead just like you If you think that your mortgage is costing you a deal Then spare a thought for me cos I got two I never use any force on the work force I pay what I can I never held a gun to a head in my life I think I'm a reasonable man, reasonable man Threat them fairly, I'm an honest man They don't need no minimum rate If it wasn't for the likes of me, Keeping them from poverty They'd cost you a fortune living off the State I give them stability, sanctity and dignity Harmony and levity to hide their frown But there's no way I'm a registered charity Pay them too much and we'll all go down I never use any force on the work force Just look at this honest face I never held a gun to a head in my life But you've got to keep them in their place Recorded on Hard Cash soundtrack JY
