[Verse 1]
Some are born with a silver spoon
And some are born without a clue
Some are born to take the biscuit
Some are born to just make do
When those fat cats drop the big one
They will turn a penny too
They will rent out nuclear shelters
We'll get one with an outside loo

[Chorus]
Ashes to ashes
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
Ashes to ashes
Let the rich man live, let the poor man bust

[Verse 2]
This one is a whiz-kid banker
Thirty going on nineteen
Says his bеst friend's name is Charlie
Hе always keeps his nose quite clean
Runs his Jag on lead-free petrol
Thinks his politics are green
He's in for one percent of
The national debt of the Argentine
[Chorus]
Ashes to ashes
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
Ashes to ashes
Let the rich man live, let the poor man bust

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
Ashes to ashes
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
Ashes to ashes
Let the rich man live, let the poor man bust

[Verse 3]
Cousin Justin's got a sideline
Working at the M.O.D. 
Expediting import-export
If you can afford the fee
Sorry, we don't touch agriculture
Not without hard currency
Better buy some rocket-launchers
With six you get a shovel free

[Chorus]
Ashes to ashes
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
Ashes to ashes
Let the rich man live, let the poor man bust
Ashes to ashes
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
Ashes to ashes
Let the rich man live, let the poor man bust
