The Richest Man on Earth

from Spaceship Toga Party by The Songs of Tom Smith

lyrics

I take a cut of everything you sell
The customer belongs to me, I could let you rent them
I know everything about them, you can’t see the data
I worked very hard to get this unfair advantage

Take 4% of sales if you want online listing
Or I’ll just undercut you til you’re out of business
For bricks and mortar shops, there’s a tax on all sales
Customers choose ur products but come to us for savings

CHORUS
You helped to make me the richest man on Earth
I provide all your options, everywhere you turn
Why should I stop now I’m the richest man on Earth
Solar System’s next then the rest of the Universe

Gave Orwell’s 1984 away for free
Went into your kindles and made it disappear
In the middle of the night like creeping round your place
Who needs to read about dystopia anyway?

Security cameras, Neighbourhood Watch
Police are field testing, we can fine tune what is wrong
In and outside your house software’s prone to mistakes
Particularly recognition of dark-skinned faces

CHORUS

I take a cut of everything you sell
The customer belongs to me, I could let you rent them
I know everything about them, you can’t see the data
I worked very hard to get this unfair advantage

My computer thinks for you and decides
It’s a word engine detector not a listening device
Put this ring on your finger, it’s mic’d everywhere you go
Lots of information helps us better get to know you
