Lyrics
Yeah
Huh
I just looked at the bills, that's daylight robbery
I'm starting to feel, it's a joke or a mockery
Wait, all these government policies and still no recovery
In this economy, you need a salary on top of winning the lottery
Most haven't eating plus no gas and heating
Tax increases, masses quitting
Oh well that's just Britain
The past is hidden, starving victims outside castle meetings
And we got a lower class and then a middle class and then a Class of Eton
There's so many food banks and so many big banks
So many surgical knives and so many big shanks
So many offshore accounts, assets in Dollars (USD) and Swiss Francs (CHF)
Income disparities, so many charities however numerous think tanks
You could blame Covid or you could blame Tories
You could blame Brexit or you could blame tax
You could blame Russia or you could blame Rishi
You could blame Boris but let's face facts
All we want are solutions, people are getting impatient
Cause clearly the government needs to do more when it comes to addressing inflation
I paid £10 last year
£15 last month and
Then about £20 last week
£25 this morning
If it keeps on rising…it might start an uprising
We're dealing with unforgiving prices
In the heat of the cost of living crisis
I paid £10 last year
£15 last month and
Then about £20 last week
£25 this morning
If it keeps on rising…it might start an uprising
We're dealing with unforgiving prices
In the heat of the cost of living crisis
Politics is a game, No. 10 at the centre
We're all getting played
Many MPs on the bench who are so unfit
But they're all getting paid
Officials keep breaking the rules
Whistleblowing is making the news
Penalties more than ever before
And the opposition is just settling scores
And still, look at the NHS wait times
Look at the ambulance wait times
Look at the number of train strikes
Look at some Met Officers who are supposed to protect but involving in grave crimes
Look at the bank interest rate hikes
Controversial like some Andrew Tate lines
It's bad, worse for the average commoner
Stress is causing more deaths, word to the average coroner
Shrinking disposable incomes, for the average customer
And rents are still unaffordable, for the average Londoner
You could blame councils or you could blame corporates
You could blame unions, you could blame youts
You could blame Whitehall, you could blame China
Even the EU but here's the truth
We're tired of blame games, we just want peace and prosperity
Cause clearly the government needs to do more when it comes to addressing austerity
I paid £10 last year
£15 last month and
Then about £20 last week
£25 this morning
If it keeps on rising…it might start an uprising
We're dealing with unforgiving prices
In the heat of the cost of living crisis
I paid £10 last year
£15 last month and
Then about £20 last week
£25 this morning
If it keeps on rising…it might start an uprising
We're dealing with unforgiving prices
In the heat of the cost of living crisis
And it's your boy, Denroy
We're out here
