Assess 00:29
lyrics
Take away allowance, Make the people suffer, Take away their rights, Say that they don't bother. You declared them fit for work, Even if they cannot walk, You've never worked a day in your life, So who are you to talk? Tory fucking scum.
3.
Executive Snake 00:51
lyrics
I fucking hate the corporations, All headed up by abominations, All they want is increased revenue, Never sparing a thought for me or you. Grab your briefcase go to work, Button up your fancy shirt, Read the paper in first class, Staring out the fucking glass, PAY YOUR TAXES
4.
Campaign For Shit 00:48
lyrics
You run away from citizens, You cannot show your innocence, And your demise is imminent, Your death's bed's what you're lying in. You can't answer a single question, Change the subject in succession, Never make a true confession, Trying to stem all our progression. You fucking coward, Why don't you show your face? Cause you're scared, Of the people, of the human race. Your brand of politics is evil, You're a fucking disgrace, So just die. Vanish without a trace.

about

These songs were written shortly after the 2015 general election in the UK to form a commentary on the current state of politics in Britain, and the lack of care and compassion in those who hold the power.

2 years on during the campaign for the 2017 election nothing had changed.

Most worryingly, during the current campaign for the 2019 election, and while practicing and playing these songs again for the first time in over a year, it's frightening how relevant the lyrics I wrote 4 years ago still are.
Big business is still benefiting from tax breaks in the UK and funneling money into the hands of the 607 billionaires.
The DWP are still removing benefits from those unable to work, and austerity measures have been directly linked to over 120,000 deaths in the UK in the last 4 years.
The Conservative Party leaders are still bumbling through this campaign, as they did in both 2015 and 2017, failing to justify the decisions their party has made in the past and failing to assure the British public that their promises to reverse the damage of those decisions is genuine.
Our NHS is still suffering from budget cuts while waiting times increase and our absolutely fantastic NHS staff who deserve the utmost praise for their service are overworked and underpaid. A doctor who recently recounted the events that took place when Boris Johnson visited his hospital said 'it's not yet winter, but in the NHS, it's always winter now.'
