Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It looks like we're havin' a rough old ride
There's no place to run, there's no place to hide
[Verse 2]
No such thing as society
Let them rustle where they may
Poor souls, let them eat cake
[Verse 3]
Affordable housing
Unobtainable dreams
There's nothing for you here
Why don't you move away?
Compassion and loyalty
Are so yesterday's news
No one cares
What you have to say
[Verse 4]
My children are working all hours they can
To live in this city we love
But they can't imagine a life like I've had
Either you're rich or it's tough
[Verse 5]
Seagulls follow the trawler
It's because they think sardines
Will be thrown into the sea
[Verse 6]
There's a sucker born every
Minute, it seems
Aiming high and
Sinking low
Directing attention
Away from the trick
As every illusionist
Knows
[Verse 7]
My children are working all hours they can
To live in this city we love
But they can't imagine a life like I've had
Either you're rich or it's tough
Either you're rich or it's tough
Either you're rich or it's tough
[Verse 8]
Give us a home somewhere we're safe
Give us enough food on our plates
We want to stay near to our friends
We are the future you can defend
[Verse 9]
Austerity, austerity
Is that all you have to give to me?
Austerity, austerity
Is that all you have to give to me?
Austerity, austerity
Is that all you have to give to me?
Austerity, austerity
Is that all you have to give to me?
