With Everything To Lose |
From the playground to the wasteground |
Hope ends at 17 — |
Sweeping floors and filling shelves |
Forced into government schemes — |
11 years spent to dig out ditches |
Forget your schoolday dreams — |
Guarantees and lie-filled speeches |
But nothing’s what it seems — |
Qualified and patronised |
And with everything to lose |
Oooh ooh |
No choice or chance for the future |
The rich enjoy less tax — |
Dress the girls in pretty pink |
The shit goes to the blacks |
A generation’s heart torn out |
And covered up the facts |
The only thing they’ll understand |
Is a wall against their backs |
The only hope now left for those |
With everything to lose |
With everything to lose |
With everything to lose |
Oooh ooh |
In desperation empty eyes |
Signed up and thrown away — |
There’s drugs replacing dignity |
The short sharp shock repaid — |
There’ll be no money if you dare to question |
Working the Tory way — |
The truth is up there carved in stone |
Where 21 dead now lay — |
A family’s loss for a few pounds saved |
With everything to lose |
With everything to lose |
With everything to lose |
With everything to lose |
With everything to lose |
Oooh |
