they call me obscene there s just no empathy but i m at the top of the world no one looks down on me from commercial road to the old city every day we invent the economy i look around and i m pleased and i buy into everything i see i buy in i buy in into everything i see buy into everything into everything i dont need to be liked but join me on my journey sweet thames run soft til i end my story past the island of dogs the river flows to the sea the cradle of our wealth she carries lovingly i look around and i m pleased and i buy into everything i see i buy in i buy in into everything i see buy into everything into everything let forgiveness be heard i can change let forgiveness be heard
