lyrics

How stupid do you think we are? Said the alcoholic at the bar
That's quite a gesture that you've made, and I'll get you a pint when I get paid
A penny off a pint of beer, well it all adds up throught the year
Aren't we lucky you're in charge? Now my Wonga loan won't seem so large

Yeah you try to trick the poor to think that you're on their side
But what you give with the left you always you always take with the right
It was the same last year when the budget came out
And it'll be the same next year without a shadow of doubt

And we're glad that Mr Shapps approves of gambling and rinking booze
And we hope that next year's budget cuts will see mroe good news for the likes of us
Oh we're just so glad you understand the working people of this land
Can't wait to see where the next cut is - cheap jewlery or a bag of chips?


Yeah you try to trick the poor to think that you're on their side
But what you give with the left you always you always take with the right
It was the same last year when the budget came out
And it'll be the same next year without a shadow of doubt
Yeah you try to trick the poor to think that you're on their side
But what you give with the left you always you always take with the right
It was the same last year when the budget came out
And it'll be the same next year without a shadow of doubt

Your benevolent generosity in no way patronises me
Finally someone who knows that we don't need food and we don't need clothes
Please cut the tax and duty to more things you posh folk think we do
Keep us distracyed night and day and pick our pockets as we look away

Yeah you try to trick the poor to think that you're on their side
But what you give with the left you always you always take with the right
It was the same last year when the budget came out
And it'll be the same next year without a shadow of doubt
