A Better Way
They told us we’re in this together
All around us stormy weather
Tighten up our belts and see it through to better days
All this came to in the end
Dragging sickmen from their beds
To starve them into work by saying they must take the test
And then.
But far too many died
A truth they try to hide
So when they say the world can’t change
There is a better way
This is how it has to be they say
Well we have a better way
Shadowmen who hide their faces
Count their money in dark places
Money stolen from the likes of you and I you see
They taxed the poor to pay the rich
Who wanted more so laundered it
And brought the country crashing and lost billions overnight
And then
They paid their bonuses
And sold the NHS
So when they say the world can’t change
There is a better way
This is how it has to be they say
Well we have a better way
Make further education free
And basic income universally
Worker’s rights and decent jobs
Make sure that tax avoidance stops
The banking system, failed us now
It must be changed and we know how
Fair trade, not free trade you see
We oppose TTIP.
Let the world turn green!
