Hey Mister |
| Because it’s real you think it’s a joke |
| Because it’s on your doorstep you have to have a poke |
| At someone |
| It’s only a cliche because it’s all true |
| Time after time it happens through and through |
| To a new generation |
| You’re just so smug in your elected seat |
| You’ve got your papers sorted out but you can’t find your feet |
| Well, I’m not surprised |
| Hey mister with your head in the clouds |
| You can’t see further than the shillings and pounds |
| The things that you say don’t mean nothing anymore |
| You have no control they’ve broken down all the doors |
| And the only way that you’ll fix them up |
| Is another war |
| If you think I’m gonna die in a financial war |
| You’ve got another thing coming and |
| And what’s more there’s lots like me |
| You juggle lives around with the stroke of a pen |
| But we’ve paid to see that move and now we won’t pay again |
| The cost is too high |
| Hey mister your smiles been erased |
| You can’t understand why we’re losing face |
| Perhaps it’s the promises that you never kept |
| «Never had it so good» |
| Well do you want a bet? |
