Taxpayers paying the price,
Through the incompetence
Of the privileged few,
Water, electricity, food and the like
Too pricey to maintain.
Ordinary folk selling their cars,
Losing their homes,
Redundant from their jobs,
When will it end?
The courage to be themselves
Diminishing fast,
Rising up to be tested,
The masses unite.
Bankers' blunders,
Ministers' malpractices,
Weighing heavy
On the consciences
Of the righteous.
Working into the grave,
Pensions that don't stretch
To even the most basic of rights
To be properly fed and heated.
This is your chance
To right the wrongs
We aren't responsible for.
Walk your road.
