Role Models Lyrics

We watch our summers die

Silent is the suffering From those who live a common life

And I observe another lie

Can't find a minute of relief

From all the shit that I'm so bothered by

They won't apologise

Denial in a Kingdom Reduce to hatred

Produced to traumatise

Anyone who may speak up

These are hard times

So I link up with a friend

Stressing over living costs

The figures and the trends

They're getting richer

Suits are slicker

Whilst we all try and make an ends

Scrimping scraping but

We've nawt left

Our cupboards bare

So if you're asking who my role model is

If you're asking who my role model is

If you're asking who my role model is

If you're asking who my role model is

Said if you're asking who my role model is

If you're asking who my role model is

They're the factless

The scandalous

And backless

Predators with crack ships

They delegate their seedy greed

Now the public have no room to argue

Or to breathe

We are stuck here now it seems

You better cease

How can they close another eye

Watch a family break

Hardship a hard shift to be swallowed by

The poverty handed down by those

Living corporate lives

Claiming they're elite

What's elite about those other guys

Speeding past the working class

In their motors mime obscenities

The scene it stinks of coke and lies

What's classy if you're rich

But scummy if your poor

Crooked sticks draw straight lines

Behind the toilet doors

Hands up skirts

Gropes in a darker cornered world

You'll be blackballed heavy if you speak

Don't you spoil it girl

Your career will be dead by the morning girl

So here's your warning girl

Get a book deal

Don't write a page

Extort the public purse

Lie to royalty

Chill in an empty fridge

Shopping sprees at Selfridges

No exerting selflessness

Cheat on your spouse

And deny your many kids

So if you're asking who my role model is

If you're asking who my role model is

If you're asking who my role model is

If you're asking who my role model is

Said if you're asking who my role model is

If you're asking who my role model is

False promises for funding for the hospices

Cutting services

Fake tears while your pals are profiting

Party whilst the nation buries coffins if

You're asking who my role model is

That'll be the Moggs and the Trusses

The Thatchers and the Borises

I'm inspired by them all

To be their very opposite

Up the workers

They're my people man

And I pay them homages
