The nameless tenant revels in the fact that his rogue landlord now faces financial collapse

lyrics

Landlord, Landlord, won’t you come in?
Landlord, landlord, won’t you come in?

Landlord, Landlord, won’t you come in?
And see the poor state we’re living in
Rotten windows and infested with mould,
You don’t care if we die from the cold,

The landlord sees, that no tenant has paid,
100 properties, but never a repair made,
Years ignoring, the plight of your tenants
Now facing collapse, is this your, is this your
Penance

Landlord, Landlord, we’ll show you around!
The slum, of which you’re so proud
The bath is leaking, and the water is brown,
Maybe a Lord should wear a Crown

The landlord sees, that no tenant has paid,
100 properties, but never a repair made,
Years ignoring, the plight of your tenants
Now facing collapse, is this your, is this your
Penance
Landlord, landlord,
You never came in,
To see the poor state,
You left us in
