This goes out to Visa, Lloyds TSB,
Royal Bank of Scotland, HSBC
Barclays, Clydesdale and the Abbey
Fuck youse all coz im no happy
Why does the government let you exist?
And why does the public let you take the piss?
Why do we all not punch the desk with our fist?
It's a tax for the poor that's designed by the rich
Call it an overdraft
Call it a switch
Whatever it is its my money bitch
And im not paying 35 pounds for going over
By 14 pence on the 18th October

To lower the service
Increase the profits
Every penny from the working class pockets
If the direct debits early or your wage is late
You've got a cheeky letter nothing else is on your plate/



You`ve got a bank charge
What you gonna do?
Insufficient funds available to you


Hold up a minute
It gets better
You want to complain then you have to write a letter
And you cant call in cause its in India
And you ll never see the fat cat with the cigar

Many people with charges were made redundant
By the same conmen who switched continent
To lower the service
Increase the profit
Every penny from the working class pocket
If the direct debits early or your wage is late
You've got a cheeky letter nothing else is on your plate

Youve got a bank charge
What you gonna do?
Insufficient funds available to you

You put your pin
Number in
And theres nothing to withdraw (oh no)
The bank charges have taken it all
I needed money, For a bottle of cider, Some rizla and a powercard
So now the debt collectors punched me
cause the bank has credit crunched me
And Im sobre myself in the dark
And I cant afford to go to work
So I guess ill get sacked
And if I don't pay my rent
Ill be sleeping in a park
They charge me money
To say they cant pay my bill
Were getting so fucked we should be on the pill

You..ve got a bank charge
What you gonna do?
Insufficient funds available to you
