Keep What Ya Got Lyrics

Cover art for Keep What Ya Got lyrics by Ian Brown

i think this song is a slight on uk goverment's ridiculous inheritance tax policy, aka the death tax. keep what ya got refers to the fact that elederly or dying people have to sign their assets away years before they eventually die in order for their loved ones to retain their personal wealth. ian brown is politically very outspoken, see recent release 'illegal attacks'. perhaps more subtle, yet equally powerful, this is another political hot potatoe that 'monkey boy' has sung about.

Haha, that's the most ridiculous explanation of the song I've ever heard. Yes Ian Brown's very politically outspoken but I don't think he'd be so parochial as to sing about inheritence tax! I think bison_libertine is dead on the money with his explanation.
