John and Sheila Ludgate - Welcome to Scamland

I got a call from the taxman
Said legal action was coming my way
There were outstanding taxes that had to be paid
Don’t be late, no time to waste, there’s a warrant for your arrest
Send that money right now and we can put this matter to rest

I got a text that told me, I could make a million easily
This’ll be the best investment I’m ever going to see
I got texts from ladies promising love, Nigerian princes promising riches
Send money now, don’t delay it’s just a click away

Chorus
Welcome to Scamland, look out here comes one now
Another and another and another and another every time you turn around
Something for nothing or some kind of emergency
Just send money now along with your identity…that’s all we need

Now you walk right by, someone in need, someone almost gone
You don’t know if it’s real or some kind of con
You don’t answer the phone, the door’s kept locked like there’s no one home
Just a silent video glow behind curtains that are drawn

You don’t know what’s real, you don’t trust what you feel
In more ways than one you’ve already been hacked
Scam after scam, they’ve destroyed your faith in your fellow man
Those hijackers voided our social contract

Repeat Chorus
…Scams on your phone, on the street, at your door
Everywhere you look there’s more and there’s more
You’ve been specially chosen to receive the latest spam
You and a million others living here in the land of the scam
…here in Scamland…Scamland
