lyrics

Inequality’s worse than it ever was

Tax breaks for the rich shift the burden on to us

That vile maxim stands, proud as a steeple:

“All for ourselves and none for other people”



How will they privatise the NHS?

Underfund and undermine it, feed stories to the press

As complaints roll in, they’ll tell us there’s a new way

“We can make it better, but now you gotta pay”

“We can kiss it all better but now you gotta pay”



Concentrated wealth
Means concentrated power

The rich keep getting richer
While the poor put in the hours

Democracy’s a lie to make us feel free

Plutocracy don’t feel like freedom me

And oligarchs don’t feel like you and me



We only get one go around at this existence

We made currency king
While Guanyin cries in the distance

We’re distracted by ads as the 1% blows it

They never help the world, they only try to own it

Never saved the world



Social mobility has ceased to exist

You’re born poor, you’ll stay poor, that’s just the way it is

That vile maxim stands, proud as a steeple:

“All for ourselves and none for other people”
