lyrics

Do you remember the time we crossed the poverty line
And the sun shone on those in the shade?
Our grandfathers fought and the vision they sought
Was a helping hand from cradle to grave
Well now that’s all over and long been forgot
And the profits all go to the men at the top

And the promises of 1945 are just broken dreams and lies
Foodbanks and Ferraris on the rise
Foodbanks and Ferraris on the rise
Foodbanks and Ferraris on the rise

Well they say times are tough and there isn’t enough
To pay the poor, the sick, the old and so on
But the profits still flow and the bonuses grow
And we all know where the money has gone
Those robber barons in their fortified towers
Are eating the fruits of what could have been ours

And the promises of 1945 are just broken dreams and lies
Foodbanks and Ferraris on the rise
Foodbanks and Ferraris on the rise
Foodbanks and Ferraris on the rise

Well the gap between your place and mine
Gets wider every day
You pay the press, you pay for votes
To make sure it stays that way

And the promises of 1945 are just broken dreams and lies
Foodbanks and Ferraris on the rise
Foodbanks and Ferraris on the rise
Foodbanks and Ferraris on the rise
