The Profiteers

One less biscuit in my packet
I'm convinced it's all a racket
the profiteers
have got us by the balls

They tell us its the warring
what with oil prices soaring
but they don't say
why everything's gone small

Every jar and every tin
fresh or frozen they cash in
hiking prices up
in corner stores and malls

The diner's standard portion
needs a great degree of caution
as it may not fill your belly
up at all

But worst of all what matters
is the rich are getting fatter
while the profiteers clean up
when crisis calls
