| Because it's real you think it's a joke | |
| Because it's on your doorstep you have to have a poke | |
| At someone | |
| It's only a cliche because it's all true | |
| Time after time it happens through and through | |
| To a new generation | |
| You're just so smug in your elected seat | |
| You've got your papers sorted out but you can't find your feet | |
| Well, i'm not surprised | |
| Hey mister with your head in the clouds | |
| You can't see further than the shillings and pounds | |
| The things that you say don't mean nothing anymore | |
| You have no control they've broken down all the doors | |
| And the only way that you'll fix them up | |
| Is another war | |
| If you think i'm gonna die in a financial war | |
| You've got another thing coming and | |
| And what's more there's lots like me | |
| You juggle lives around with the stroke of a pen | |
| But we've paid to see that move and now we won't pay again | |
| The cost is too high | |
| Hey mister your smiles been erased | |
| You can't understand why we're losing face | |
| Perhaps it's the promises that you never kept | |
| 'never had it so good' | |
| Well do you want a bet? |
