What is it.

Why are we here
Spinning so fast
Working for the penny
Taxed to the last

What is it
That says that it is OK
For millions of people
To pay and pay and pay
Taxed for our comforts and for our care
Revenue's gone crazy
In every single way

Levy the punters
Take twenty percent of a wage
The VAT man is mental
He steals from us each day

The wealthy
Have riches and that is just fine
If they've earned it they deserve it
Each man to his ain

A government that values
Stripping away
The rights of the poor man
Who eke's out and scrapes
Is less than inhuman
Its my right to say

What price to be settled
How much should change hands
For the honest and forthright
To believe that they can

When children go hungry
Families seek help
From charities who offer
Food for their mouths

Cut backs are one thing
Taxation is another
Utilities are expensive
They will get dearer
The competitionless
Conglomurates raise tariffs
No fear of anyone
Telling them to stop

We'll all just go taking it
Right up the arse
Apathetic
Self Loathing
Even although its not right

I shout from the roof tops
I scream for all I am worth
It won't make a difference
The stinging of cuts

Frozen by necessity
Easily said
When the tower that you live in
With a four poster bed
Looks down on society
No clear vision in your head
About the hardship and struggles
You are better bred.
