Viv : Look at me now I'm broken in two Shattered and battered, Bitter and blue. Here come the vultures They wanna dine, All stood in line for Pieces of me. Now there are guys Dressed up in their suits. Spelling out trouble Legal disputes, Look at 'em gather They're all the same All got a claim on Pieces of me... Chorus : Ev'rybody wants a piece of the action, Ev'rybody wants a slice of the cake. Ev'rybody will demand satisfaction, Ev'rybody's on the make. Ev'rybody wants a lend of a shilling, Ev'rybody wants a shake of the stick. Ev'rybody will be making a killing, Everybody's on the nick.
