Corrie Shelley - Jokers, Thieves and Profiteers

Jokers, Thieves and Profiteers
Galivant around
Make the rules, keep us in chains
N bring this country down
Strip us bare, then sell us off
To the highest bidder
Who is the wife of their best mate
That makes the fat cats richer

They sell us all a pack of lies
N play us all for fools
Strip the NHS of cash
Take the arts out of the schools
Make us all work longer
To earn a living wage
We need a government
Who will step up
To rewrite the page

Rise up for your country
And your fellow man
Rise up for your country
Let's make a stand
Rise up as a nation
Don't take it lying down
Don't believe the words
Of these fools and clowns

Jokers, Thieves and Profiteers
Sit in their ivory tower
Elected to serve us all
But fuelled by greed and power
Say the cuts to basic needs
Will yield more down the line
But not for those who struggle, left
Below the breadline

They sell us all a pack of lies
N play us all for fools
Strip the NHS of cash
Take the arts out of the schools
Make us all work longer
To earn a living wage
We need a government
Who will step up
To rewrite the page

Rise up for your country
And your fellow man
Rise up for your country
Let's make a stand
Rise up as a nation
Don't take it lying down
Don't believe the words
Of these fools and clowns

Distractions, lies, false promises
Are fed to us with ease
By daily news and commentary
To keep us on our knees
Our wealth is not divided
To all folks in the land
But syphoned by the Masters of
Deceit and slight of hand

They sell us all a pack of lies
N play us all for fools
Strip the NHS of cash
Take the arts out of the schools
Make us all work longer
To earn a living wage
We need a government
Who will step up
To rewrite the page

Rise up for your country
And your fellow man
Rise up for your country
Let's make a stand
Rise up as a nation
Don't take it lying down
Don't believe the words
From these fools and clowns

Don't believe the words
Of these fools and clowns
Don't believe the words
Of these fools and clowns
