lyrics

At the places in between where they look straight through the cracks
They see faces looking up from the wrong side of the tracks

And they try so very hard to pretend it’s someone’s fault
‘Cos it’s easier to blame than to bring this to a halt

They want to see them fail, they believe the Daily Mail

And it’s not quite what it seems, their agenda’s set to ‘Dream’
And they’re searching for a cure, to stop infection by the poor
They’re ignorant, malevolent, incompetent, an irritant

To have dignity in work it depends on who’s in charge
‘Cos they suck the money out so their fortunes can enlarge

How much do you need, when you’re bored on board your yacht
So you break another bank, still unhappy with your lot

They want to see you fail, they believe the Daily Mail

And it’s safer to believe you can make the buggers scream
Earning more and more from the labours of the poor
They’re ignorant, malevolent, incompetent, an irritant
They’re ignorant, malevolent, incompetent, an irritant
