The cataclysmic fall fall in what is seen as decent today,

Is reflecting on people and the way we treat each other in different ways,

Showing a lack of dignity and of any respect

Backing charlatans and liars have we not sunk lower enough yet,

There was a time when people, when the were found of doing wrong fell on their own sword,

But now they stand in the limelight, miking the applause,

Moral and ethical integrity has been shown the door

As the rich powerful elitists shit on everyone much more,

And they’ve convinced so many of them that as intelligent women and men

That we should turn a blind eye to their wrong doings,

And follow, support and vote for them time and again,

This egregious trend of how to act is a sham on being a role model,

We need people of good character, of which we all can follow.

One rule for us and one for them

The elite believe they are above them

Rules and laws are for the poor

That’s what their system is for

Oppressing us all and holding us down

We’re told to know our place by these clowns

Being rich and powerful gives you certain rights

To ignore the laws and rules because they have the might

When will we as people wake up and realise

These people who are purveyors of lies shouldn’t represent us

And that we deserve better

And better is out there

There are people that really care

And want to build a system that shares

That want to build a society of equality and right

Of peace and freedom in which we can delight.

We work hard each day

And it gives us a basic low wage,

And in return we get an abundance of pains and aches,

And when we get home we sit our arses down at the table

And see the fucking bills stacked like the Tower of Babel,

And we wonder how it is we’re supposed to keep our heads above the water,

You can barely afford to feed your wife son and daughter,

The bills that are stacked there are a testament to the fact they caught you,

In their capitalistic free market web

But there is nothing free about it,

Unless you’re a rich tax dodger living off the fat of the land,

But for us it’s nothing like this as we check out the utilities bills and their final demands,

Is it any wonder why we lose all hope and give up on our dreams,

Under the pressure of work, eat, sleep and repeat,

And we soon find our spirits broken and in full retreat,

Then your wife walks in with hollow black eyes, from a long night working in a care home,

Your kids make the best of it but at times the home turns into a war zone,

As the tension and the stress inevitably explodes

This kind of lifestyle most low paid and poor people know,

But the government do not care at all, funding their economy off our taxes,

While the rich move their money to offshore accounts and sits back in the sun and relaxes,

As they avoid paying their share and I ask you how that’s fair,

But in the end with the aches and pains we are too tired to care,

We’ve become immune to the inequality

And buy their lies that we are blessed,

They’ve convinced us it’s still great being second best,

And one I’d like to think and imagine a backlash taking place,

That sees us wiping their fucking smug grins

Right off their fucking faces,

And seizing back the power and taking our fair share,

Wake and join the program, I fucking dare,

And take back your lives and get out back more for what we put in,

Power to the people is a message that we need to be finally shouting.
