'ask and you shall receive '
yeah, right,
don't believe it.
you
can ask until you're blue
in the face
and you still won't receive it

on the steps of austerity
the rich men look down on me
as if poverty is a disease.

No one is coming to help you
until you make that call and
you get through
then you'll hear,
please wait, all our lines are busy
at the moment

so you hold on
and you're good at doing that.
