V1
Some peoples misery other peoples gain
Enrich the richer and make em richer
They see property as an opportunity 
A  business that’ll make the sickness sicker
If they build too many houses it’ll drive down the price 
It’s just cold economics to them
So there’s no will to address it
Cos It’s not in their interest
We see it over time and time again

Chorus
Everyone should have a home 
Everyone should have a home
In the world in this life 
Such a basic human right  
To have a dignified place you call your own
Everyone should have a home 
Everyone should have a home
Safe and warm where you belong 
Everyone should have a home 

V2
Housing developers that are hung up on greed
And hungry vultures swooping from the sky
Crucifying rents and they’re are on the increase
Shamefully they bleed the people dry 
All the vacant properties we can see them in our towns 
Sign the papers and take down the boards
A home not a hotel 
A home not a hostel 
A home not cardboard box on the side of the road

V3
We’ve got landlords in government who vote and legislate
In favour of investments they control 
Our leaders they facilitate and then wave away
The emergency created at their door
The moneyed minds get richer and the poor just fade 
Into hovels and holes they can’t afford 
Dystopian evictions
Heartless  repossessions 
A wealthy countries people in a stranglehold

Tried to hide, I tried to lie
But i think the booty duty on the cards tonight,
right?
I turn you on like a night light,
Red and Blue corner -
are you ready to fight?
(Ding!)

King Long
send it back like ping pong
Secret of Victoria without the wings on
winy zukini bikini pretty like Nicki you ain't
getting in, your beckoning embarassing
begging like a puppy on a lesson...
no card, no present
no shopping, no stressing.
First I'm too cold then too hot to hold
like Wutang 
Stop before you hit the pootang

What? It's today? 
What? Why didn't you say...?
This week yeah? ....everyday?
I'm a bad actress, ok.
Yeah I get it, I get it.
Yeah I'm sorry I missed it, I'm a...

Chorus

Bad Girlfriend
I'm a Bad Girlfriend
and I don't know when your birthday is 
I don't know when your birthday is

x2


Hey baby, I'm sorry 
that I hurt your feelings. 
I love you and miss you
so much i wish I could kiss you

No.
Not at all
You're a fool if you think that
I'ma crawl back like animal
an' I'm all 
up in your business
checking your emails
what you been tweeting
pictures you're feeling.
No attention or mentions
so i had to hit up all your friends, 
i went clubbing with Ben..
mmm yeah mm mm yeah mm mmm Ben-
what you gonna say then?

Mama would say that treating them mean always
keeps them keen and they never wanna leave
though the light is green 
and his mum hates me for whatever reason
i'm always gonna be that thing in between them
she's doing his cleaning, i'm watching t.v.
acting like i can't hear her!


Chorus


Bridge

Oh no oh no wait, please!
Get up off your knees!
It's not you it's me...
I'm a C.U.N.T
Aye
No hard feelings baby cakes
and if it's the end of the road
you can just say....
I didn't think so anyway
but if it comes, let it come
i'ma be ready any day


Chorus Variation

Bad Girlfriend,
I'm a Bad Girlfriend
And I'm all up in your bu-si-ness
I'm all up in your bu-si-ness
