And lost billions.
We live in a world full of hate
widespread corruption of power by state,
Governments elected on promises made
turn their backs and those promises fade.
Tax payers money the Banks all need
they Gambled and lost billions
for their gluttony to feed
they said it would last but a year or two
thousands of jobs for me and you,
Politicians lie thats a fact of life
promises wont feed our children or wife.
We send foreign aid money abroad each year
to countries ruled by bloodshed and fear,
Terrorists harboured while planning to kill
in the foreign lands whose pockets we fill.
the veterans beg from a forgotten war
banks get richer on the backs of the poor,
Governments come and are gone tomorrow
it’s the people left crying tears of sorrow.
We march in protest unheard by deaf ears
who can we turn to and voice our fears.
