Kids of Yesterday - Horsin' Around

I went to the racecourse
And I saw a fucking horse get Killed!
The Jockey took a tumble
Heard the grumble of the stumbling patrons
I could express atrocities of images I saw that day
But the cash I lost my hard earned clay
Might as well have paid for the Poison

We breed all of this special life
Yet still we're ending up in strife

I've played on many stages
Written ages of pages but still
I don't understand the habit of gambling away your phone bill
Where legendary sages of song once stood
They're replacing the stages and ripping up the wood
Then they fill up the room with machines that take your stash
Rob you blind
Obscenely making cash for the fat cats

Don't let them take your money
Don't let them take your money
If you could take their money
It wouldn't be as funny

Fixing matches all is fine
Spray some graff your doing time

Lock you up for robbing banks
Clear your name if you're in their ranks.

We drink and dance and sing and sway
Our rights are being stripped away
And all the while they smile and say
You asked for us to make you pay

So how much longer do you think that we should wait?
The faster we cast them out the better it will be.
