As the world around you crashes burns and dies
Recall the names of all that told so many lies
Ne’er a truth was spoken as they took away your soul
And walked from you unspoken; left in a deep dark hole
They took away your income then made you pay some more
They took away your savings, they wouldn’t say what for
They stole from you your freedom or what was left of that
They took away your dignity, smiled and then laughed at
What was left of someone, who once had stood so tall?
Erect and proud and honest, looking for a fall
They took from you the anger that burned so deep inside
They took from you your splendour they even took your pride
They left a shell so empty, so weak and quick to crack
A shell so quiet and shattered, too feeble to fight back
But when the day arrives, for bills accounted for
Be you rich as ‘Midas’ or the poorest of the poor
There is a debt to pay you know, a note to be handed in
Which lists the merits of your life and the evils of your sin
So as you reach the end of it, wonder what it was all for
When you reach the end of it and you’re knocking on the door
Ask yourself who’s fault it was, where to lay the blame
Who to point the finger at, was it all a game?
So stand up as a real man would, stand up when you can
Stand up to these bastards, those who made the plan
Tear it up in ribbons, render it all a’flame
Then we’ll make another and start it all again......copyright....Me
