From the playground to the wasteground
|
Hope ends at 17 -
|
Sweeping floors and filling shelves
|
Forced into government schemes -
|
11 years spent to dig out ditches,
|
Forget your schoolday dreams -
|
Guarantees and lie-filled speeches,
|
But nothings what it seems -
|
Qualified and patronised and with everything to lose.
|
No choice or chance for the future
|
The rich enjoy less tax -
|
Dress the girls in pretty pink
|
The shit goes to the blacks
|
A generation's heart torn out
|
And covered up the facts
|
The only thing they'll understand
|
Is a wall against their backs
|
The only hope now left for those - with everything to lose.
|
|
In desperation empty eyes,
|
Signed up and thrown away -
|
There's drugs replacing dignity,
|
The short sharp shock repaid -
|
There'll be no money if you dare to question
|
Working the Tory way -
|
The truth is up there carved in stone,
|
Where 21 dead now lay -
|
A family's loss for a few pounds saved -
|
With everything to lose.
