Money is protected

And people get hurt

In a society where money is God

But people are treated as dirt

Where the wealthy one percent

Sip champagne in ivory towers

We are forced to work

For low pay, zero hours, each and every day

Not knowing if our basic pay

Will be covered by our meagre wage

And the screw keeps getting tightened

And life is always really harsh

I remember reading about the Tolpuddle march

And wonder why in these days we don’t also start

To unite and rise up and demand something new

Capitalism is failing we need a new special brew

The political party system is corrupt floored and archaic

We need to revolutionise our system so let’s break it

And start a fresh with equality central and rooted at the core

Where money is not as important

And where people are valued more.
