From the recording Lies! Lies! Lies!
Lyrics
So it turns out there is a magic money tree But it won’t grow for you and me
It’s not for fighting poverty
In the gig economy
It's not for sprinklers in the towers
It’s for clinging on to power
Look there I spy there is a magic money tree
And it’s growing from the seed
Of a dark philosophy
For a lost majority
And it’s on their land, it's not on ours
It’s for clinging on to power
So it turns out there is a magic money tree And let there be no doubt it’s not for you and me
It’s for the 'democratic' aristocracy
The ugly fruit will buy you roughly 10 MPs It’s got the strangest, beguiling flowers
The fragrance lies; it feeds on power power power power power power power
So it turns out there is a magic money tree A magic money tree
And it’s on their land, it's not on ours It’s for clinging on to power
