Because it's real you think it's a joke |
|
Because it's on your doorstep you have to have a poke |
|
At someone |
|
It's only a cliche because it's all true |
|
Time after time it happens through and through |
|
To a new generation |
|
You're just so smug in your elected seat |
|
You've got your papers sorted out but you can't find your feet |
|
Well, i'm not surprised |
|
Hey mister with your head in the clouds |
|
You can't see further than the shillings and pounds |
|
The things that you say don't mean nothing anymore |
|
You have no control they've broken down all the doors |
|
And the only way that you'll fix them up |
|
Is another war |
|
If you think i'm gonna die in a financial war |
|
You've got another thing coming and |
|
And what's more there's lots like me |
|
You juggle lives around with the stroke of a pen |
|
But we've paid to see that move and now we won't pay again |
|
The cost is too high |
|
Hey mister your smiles been erased |
|
You can't understand why we're losing face |
|
Perhaps it's the promises that you never kept |
|
'never had it so good' |
|
Well do you want a bet? |
