Landlord, landlord my roof has sprung a leak
Don't you remember how I told you all about it when you called last week
You say I owe you money and my rent is overdue
Well that's one payment I won't make until you fix my house up new
Landlord, landlord you've got change those locks and keys
Throw my furniture in the street and make a martyr out of me
You really got some imagination to say the things you do
You won't talk that way no more if I get my hands on you
Police station – arrest - late papers - stop press
Man threatens landlord, tenant held no bail, judge gives revolutionary 90 days in jail, oh 90 days in jail
Landlord, landlord I'm a very desperate man
Going to ruin the government and overturn the land
Going to burn your houses, going to scratch your car.
The way you understand me now
I might well have just come down from Mars.
Landlord, landlord, landlord, landlord, landlord, landlord,
