The Rear Admirals - 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?
Charity muggers
Do you even know where Ghana is?

And when you look your mother in the eye
Does she stop to chat, or just walk by?
Because she'd really like to talk about saving the whales
But 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 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
