Politics - politicians!
politicians rule
you think you are in charge of me
so treat me like a fool
you squeeze us 'til our "pips" squeak
you just don't have a clue
with only 24 hours a day
what are we to do
we are the masses
the ones who do the jobs
you call us the "hoi poloi"
and we call you the "nobs"
but we're the countries back-bone
the fixers and the doers
we'd like to see you emptying bins
or working down the sewers
what is it that we get from you
high taxes and higher bills
just a load of misery
to give you all some thrills
as then you sharpen up your knifes
and we get all your cuts
'til we are left with no spare cash
come on - kick us in the guts!
so what's it like being us
let me tell you; it ain't funny
it's not a joke to live this way
too much month at the end of the money
these increases won't effect you
"alice through the looking-glass"
looking down as you whizz by
sipping tea in your first-class
you are running parliament
your hands on the purse strings
you've got options you can take
swanning around like you are kings!
But ..
we are the little people
we who cast your vote to win
listen to us when we shout
or next time
you just
might not
get in
