Charity Muggers Lyrics

Charity muggers, do you even care about the Coast Guard?

Charity muggers, can you even swim?

Charity muggers, do you even care about the starving children?

Do you even know where Ghana is?

And when you looked your Mother in the eye

Does she stop to chat, or just walk by?

Because shed really like to talk about saving the whales

Burt you always have to ask her for her bank details

Charity muggers, I know you're working on commission

That's why you can't accept my spare change

Charity muggers, I know the Red Cross does important work but

I need to get on with my day

And when you walk each morning out your front door

Do you wonder what else life has got in store?

Besides accosting old ladies at the shopping mall

Pretending that you care when you both don't care at all

And I know there's worse ways of paying the bills

Then by becoming subservient industry shills

Just a backpacker all the way from Norway

Who wanted to see the world but the world just turned away

Charity muggers; I know you're working on commission
