Oi!! They tout that Thatcherite fallacy Of ‘trickle down’ wealth Truth is – it breeds inequality And so much suffering by stealth They lied that right wing was the right thing.. So it’s back to the Eighties – with Tories in power Normal? Disabled? It’s you they’ll devour! A creed of greed from Leeds to Barking (That’s why we hate them more than parallel parking!) So sod the Northern Powerhouse They’d sooner butcher grouse! From Yorkshire folk to Scouse There needs to be the shout - Never Trust A Tory! They’ll do a national disservice To our NHS You’d vote for privatised treatment? Beware – you’ll pay more for less And their media fuelled frenzy of fear.. Will tear asunder our welfare state And flood your heart with xenophobic hate So – au revoir Europe – it’s been fun! (There goes a referendum with the emphasis on ‘dumb’..) O how they love to frack around – so say goodbye To these green and pleasant lands We all should heed the cry Never Trust A Tory! From the Stoned Age to the Bronzed Age Ignorance and apathy at every stage Lets evil get away with things And it’s not good or right For we musn’t be beaten by Harrow or Eton! So let’s stand up together – and fight!! Oi! ‘Hardworking families’ That ‘do the right thing’ Which is ‘make the rich richer’ (Under ‘Strong and Stable Leadership’..) Meanwhile they’re laughing all the way offshore to their bankers Only fools believe their bull about ‘balancing the books’ Who truly would trust these avaricious crooks? They privatise to ‘incentivise’ – but all to no avail! (Our schools and public transport? Corporate epic fails! So let’s all turn and focus on these rapacious locusts A Biblical plague for the modern age.. Never Trust A Tory! (Especially Jeremy C..Hunt..)

You’ve faced all the facts but you’re still staunchly the same (Your mind can never be changed) So you spend your time searching for scapegoats to blame (Seeking to shift the shame) A credulous cretin that regurgitates all their lies (So why should it be a surprise?) When their vested interests trample you down with the rest (But don’t you dare protest..) For it’s not neuroscience – your display of defiance Is actually an active act of compliance With perfectly postured career politicians Who stifle substance and engender submission (Don’t be swayed by their style!) Why?! Even sharks can smile! Even sharks can smile! Even sharks can smile! (Beware!) Even sharks can smile.. Prostrate yourself at the altar of ‘not having a say’ (Whilst baying at ‘Match Of The Day’..) Let Home Counties Himmlers fritter your freedoms away (You’re still seething at ‘Match Of The Day’..) An avalanche of apathy under whose weight we’re crushed (For whom can we truly trust?) You think you’ve made a stand? Ha! You’ll usher in the unjust.. You see a supersized ego in Saville Row attire And all you do is supplicate and admire In this soundbite age of tabloid government We think too late to find out what they meant – oh! (Watch out!) Even sharks can smile! (That’s right!) Even sharks can smile! (Oh yes!) Even sharks can smile! (Beware!) Even sharks can smile! (Think!) Even sharks can smile! Even Sharks Can Smile…….

Corporate lackey in company vehicle Above yourself You know all their rules, recite all their jargon (But is that enough to take you up?) A regulation for all situations – ‘The company way’ All bluff and such bullshit – you never did get it! Who cares? (Not you!) When all you need to say is – YES! That’s the holy word to please them, oh YES! Tell them all the lies they want, it’s YES! That will make them think you’re worth it So when they’re here you’ll say anything – say – YES! Give them ‘real’ job satisfaction, oh YES! Earn your wages of deceit/bonus of conceit Who needs self respect when faced with such prospects?! Morals from heaven, holidays in Devon With the wife and kids A weekend of ‘tiffin’ – though what you’re really missing Is the chance to make some serious cash! Nations starving, and nations warring – Dude, nice new wheels!! For we always knew you had that Thatcherite view – Quote – ‘Who needs the bus? Don’t we all, like, drive cars?!’ When - YES! That’s the holy word to please them, oh YES! Tell them all the lies they want, it’s YES! That will make them think you’re worth it So when they’re here you’ll say anything – say – YES! Give them ‘real’ job satisfaction, oh YES! Earn your wages of deceit/bonus of conceit Who needs self respect when faced with such prospects?! 'Rap': The sound of this generation isn’t guitars thrashing It’s all drowned out by the economy crashing Corporate greed - the modern creed It all ends with a society of need A spineless Chancellor gives too many chances To degenerate bosses when revenge is the answer Make the banks pay – brimstone and fire Ban big bonuses – and terminate the liars Too much focus on profit margins The whole country suffers at the rates you’re charging?! Unapologetic, arrogant, avaricious Witness the face of modern big business So here’s our message for the shameless directors We wish you on a date with Hannibal Lecter! Bankrupt bankers and bring back nurses Rid this land of the scourge of such curses! You said ‘More effort’ I said ‘Less is the new more!’ (It was just a joke!) Yes, your sense of humour was only a rumour! And now here’s what we think of you – You merchant banker in a job so thankless Though all you care Is that the tills are alive with the sound of your bonus! If you only knew how it feels to feel!! YES! That’s the holy word to please them, oh YES! Tell them all the lies they want, it’s YES! That will make them think you’re worth it So when they’re here you’ll say anything – say – YES! Give them ‘real’ job satisfaction, oh YES! Earn your wages of deceit/bonus of conceit Who needs self respect when faced with such prospects?!

The sixth o' May of ’37 What a sad day An accident? Or sabotage? The demise of that vessel so large The defiant dream Of that most loathsome regime Still – no one knew they would fry In a giant Chinese lantern in the sky The Hindenburg (Not a fate non Nazis deserved) Flaming debris is all the eye can see And all that’s left is – oh, the humanity! A final reckoning For that soon to be dead zeppelin Who thought an engulfing explosion could come From cubic miles of unprotected hydrogen? The failed story Of a facist Fuhrer’s fleeting glory The lofty journey they hoped to spend Came crashing down – and met a Nazi end.. The Hindenburg (Not a fate non Nazis deserved) Flaming debris is all the eye can see And all that’s left is – oh, the humanity! Of the Hindenburg No longer flying like a bird A descending phoenix gas dirigible Consumed by flames – barely visible.. O Das Hindenburg A blaze to melt a Titanic iceberg Aviation’s great conundrum and mystery Now consigned to the ashes of history…….
