My Own Damned Time

The other day I paid the t.v. license fee
I had a form to fill money, information taken from me
All I seem to hear, some new legislation
They failed to mention before last election

And I don't want to be an unpaid clerk for her majesty's treasury
Because to me another subtle form of slavery

Thirteen long hours of work and travel everyday
Can't save no money when bills and taxes have been paid
Yet another form demanded annually
Make declaration for tax inspection

And I don't want to be an unpaid clerk for her majesty's treasury
Because to me another subtle form of slavery
Don't want to be an unpaid clerk for government secretary
Far as I can see another subtle form of slavery

Evening and weekends, time for me friends and family
I'll pay the fine, wasn't born keep no deadline
Living in this world on borrowed time
Rather pay the fine can go to hell with your deadline
Put your hand in your pocket show me what you got
You got a note or have you got a coin?
Take a closer look, see that face, look like yours?
No, no not mine
Reason why pay the fine
Keep my precious time

Don't want to be an unpaid clerk for her majesty's treasury
Because to me another subtle form of slavery
Don't want to be an unpaid clerk for government secretary
Far as I can see another subtle form of slavery

I don't want to be an unpaid secretary
I don't want to be an unpaid secretary
I don't want to be an unpaid secretary
I don't want to be an unpaid secretary

In a democracy be who you want to be they keep on telling me
In a democracy be who you want to be they keep on telling me
In a democracy be who you want to be they keep on telling me
