First they broke up the unions, and I did not speak out, Because I hadn’t yet learnt to speak.
Then they sold off the British – BT, BP, BA – and I did not speak out Because I was only ten and no one would have listened.
Then they came for the coal, the power, the rail. We did speak out – We held on to the post office and voted in New Labour.
Then we watched them PFI the underground, the NHS and schools And we did not speak out, because we thought they were us.
So on they went and PFI’d Iraq. We did speak out, But that was not enough. A million died.
So then they PFI’d the **** out of the NHS, Some car parks here and there, Some targets, some consolidations - But we weren’t concentrating on that because - Were we the baddies?
Then they came for the prisons, and the police And even China had a go at our 5G And then they asked the people how they felt And used that to make them feel something else And then they asked those same people what to do And those people were very confused And then a PLC stood for election And refused to make any promises Because promises are lies And do or die Before the 2020 tax rules Or something We got bored And people voted Not to have another vote
And I wasn't even sure At which point it was That they came for me.
