Sinking ship.

I guess you reap what you sow.
You voted for them once again and now we all know.
They’ve managed to find the extra notes
To guarantee they get the votes.
But when Corbyn speaks about the poor
you laugh, attack and bar the door.

But are you really laughing still?
Your fucking Aston don’t mean much when you’re wife and kids are ill.
When you’re coughing and crying desperate for your medication.
You’ll realise we’ve undermined the NHS foundations.
Terrorist sympathiser was the title often gifted
by red tops looking to bring us hate and never see us lifted.
Tell me all now do you stand by the label
When we can barely keep enough fucking food on the table.
NHS staff, carers you and me are the heroes
Not an Eton cunt with a trust fund with far too many zeroes.

Admit it. We’ve seen the signs all over the place.
Not written small but printed big on every homeless face.
In a single mum with no support who can’t afford to feed her daughter.
Ian Duncan Smith should be arrested and tried for manslaughter.
Or maybe murder would be nearer to the truth,
Universal credit should be all the fucking proof.
A disabled man who dies alone because of an unacceptable delay
Now he’s in the grave and Ian gets to laugh and walk away.
Will it go on of course it will I’ll take that fucking bet.
Cos most of us will shrug and say it isn’t effecting me yet.

Austerity has brought the country to the boil.
But we soon find the money to bomb a nation with some oil.
They peddle anti immigrant rhetoric and tell us its foreigners we should despise.
To distract from their ineptitude and constant fucking lies
Brexit what a load of shit won on endless false claims.
Farage and Hopkins full blown racists you know their fucking names.
Cameron took a swerve when he realised it had backfired.
Theresa fucking May, christ were we meant to be inspired?
I don’t like the woman but at least she tried to save it,
And in the process showed that she had bigger balls than David.

Do you really believe that old money will trickle down?
From the sweaty grip of all the Oxbridge pig head fucking clowns.
To me and you just trying to stay afloat,
Who think we actually get a say because we have a right to vote.
Be honest did you really look at how their policies would shape our nation?
Or was it just cool to put on Facebook I’m at the polling station.
I’m just the same, believe me I don’t practice what I preach.
Like everyone I’m striving for a dream that’s out of reach
I’m sorry if it came across as bitter and too raw
But I’m looking round and I really think the UK’s done for.
