Not About You
How the government doesn’t realise how the average person thinks/needs/lives

Look at you in your parliamentary seat
What gives you the right
To lie and cheat
To the average man
In saying the futures bright
When the country’s a sham
It’s not about you you you
You say there’s no money
For the poor
Would you wanna shop at the discount store
As you live life like a celebrity
And we fight the walls of austerity
It’s not about you you you
As you go to your state banquet
People are sleeping rough under a blanket
Factory lines standing still
Worried about their next meal
No way a country should feel
It’s not about you you you
No room in the hospital bed
But you get your private health
Is there any truth in what you said
As you bask in your wealth
Please be true to yourself
It’s not about you you you
Education on a knife edge
Forces over stretched
But you made a vow
That we all knew was far fetched
We’d need to say here and now
It’s not about you you you
