LYRIC FOR SALE

By Andy Shipp

[Intro]
You said
It'll work out
In time
Just follow my pledge
As you partied
On
Cheese and wine

[V1]
Look at you
In your leather seat
It doesn’t matter
If you’re red or blue
What gives you the right
To lie and cheat
To the average man
In saying
The futures bright
When the countries
Going down the pan

[V2]
You say
There's no money
To help the poor
Would you wanna
Shop at the
Discount store
As you
Live life as a
Celebrity
We fight
The walls of austerity

[C]
You don’t live
Like us
You don’t think
Like us
You don’t bleed
Like us
You don’t walk
Where we walk

[B]
Boats
On the water
Coming
Day and night
Straining
Our streets
Gotta
Get the balance
Right
Heroes fought for
Our right

[V3]
As you go
To your State banquet
People sleeping rough
Under a blanket
Gotta choose between
Food or fuel
Jackets or shoes
This is no way a
Country should feel

[V4]
No room
In the Hospital bed
But you've got
Your private health
You said
Equality for all
But anarchy's knocking
Knocking
On the door

[C]
You don’t live
Like us
You don’t think
Like us
You don’t bleed
Like us
You don’t walk
Where we walk

[O]
We see through
The lies you sell
This is our street
This is our hell
You raised your glass
We raised our voice
You had the power
We had no choice
Now choke on the
Shards
Of the future you
Smashed


The Future you smashed
