How do we face the slaughter
Of fathers and their daughters
When we're part of a system
That leaves their lives without order?
Government disorder,
Integrity? Tall order,
Forsaken by the devils,
They're the devils on our shoulder,
A history of telling lies,
Promising the sun will rise,
But nature follows nature's course,
And that's where liars coincide,
Breeding animosity,
Invested in austerity,
Fueled by the deprivation
That it subsequently breeds,
Knowing what the people need,
What you sow is what you reap,
Showing us an oasis
And throwing us into the sea.
You eat it up, they spit you out,
They feed you lies, they sow that doubt,
You let that hatred grow inside,
And cast a vote to cast us out,
Coz this is where the problem lies?
Infiltrating, spreading lies,
Blaming others for your drought,
Bumbling Boris breaking ties,
Disbelieving people's cries,
Justifying all the lies,
Spurning all the kids out there
Just trying to stay alive,
Cuts are systematic, organised,
Breadline coping normalised,
Puff go all the services,
Privatised and polarised,
Food banks now outnumbering,
McDonald's, oh please unspin,
Wake me from this nightmare that
We find ourselves deep within.
Change it up this December,
Make it one to remember,
And do it for the many,
Let us all come together,
And never let yourself forget,
Change is always within reach,
So reach out, make a change,
Be the change that you preach,
Reach out, make a change,
Be the change that you seek,
Reach out, make a change,
Be the change that we need.
