her majesty's government

angry, tired, embarrassed, confused
this is how i feel when i think of you

boring, liars, delusional, charade
i will not settle till the debt is paid

we're watching through our screens
detached
let go
how will you give back to us just what you owe?

will you grant us fair wages?
real news on pages?

will you fight for the hungry?
the trodden on,
the angry

all we want is to be happy
free
what is it that's so different between you and me?

the money?
the power?
we break our backs for £8 an hour

and where does it go?
bills, tax, asda smart price
another frozen pizza
sorry kids
only one slice

sixth richest country in the world
built on slaughter and invasion
"no more foreigners!!!"
oh man,
that persuasion

the country is a mess
and i am too
but you will never ever catch me voting blue
