lyrics

What’s the latest front-page lie?
What packs a tabloid punch?
700,000 “foreign” kids
Are claiming free school lunch!
They demonize the weak and poor,
There’s no empathy, there’s no shame,
And when they call this Austerity it’s a cull by another name.

Let’s have Princess Di and Maddie stories
From your wretched servile hacks
And never mind the foodbanks,
Never mind the bedroom tax.
They’ll means-test this, they’ll means-test that
And then reject your claim
Cos when they call this Austerity it’s a cull by another name

Give us “Rule Britannia” headlines
And then call us lazy shirkers.
Blame Europe, blame the unions,
And let’s blame the migrant workers.
Make the old and sick jump through endless hoops
In a twisted hopeless game
Cos when they call this Austerity it’s a cull by another name.
And when they call this Austerity it’s a cull by another name.
