lyrics

The pound hits new lows
Well, don’t you all?
I hope the FCA takes a vice to your balls
But when they don’t, it’ll come as no surprise

You don’t leave it to chance
While you leave us for dead
And your pockets grow fat
While we can’t afford bread
And you have the sheer front
To do it right before our eyes

It’s a race to the bottom
And the con is in
Short your bets hit your shots
We take it on the chin
Again, no end
No hope, no prayer
No more…

Pitchforks drawn, come out and get quartered
Sing "these are our streets," and it sounds like a sonnet
Traitors' Gate could use some fresh heads on it
Wanna tell us again that you decline to comment?

Insider called out trading lives for profit
Only growth you’ve caused is in hurt and torment
Defunded police can’t defend your spoils yeah,
No mercy no peace, we decline to comment

I’ve had e-fucking-nuff
And it still gets worse
And if I finally give up
They won’t carry my hearse
By hand, all round
Old London Town
With a million police
To watch 60 million starving mouths

Nah, they’ll just write me off
Another also-ran
Not a member of their club
So they don’t give a damn
So I can’t, instead
I extend a helping hand
Passing out Molotovs
Outside the food banks and…
