Food banks spring open
|
Like jaws dropping in time
|
The weight of man is measured
|
By the depths of a carrier bag
|
|
I'm frozen for ages
|
The same faces the same scars
|
It's a shame all our sages
|
Are rotten to the middle
|
|
Someone better tell me when the lights go out
|
So I know where I should hide
|
Someone better offer me their salient thoughts
|
On a welfare state denied
|
Someone better smother me in disregard
|
So I'll make it through the night
|
And there's so many people
|
That feel the same as I do
|
|
So don't listen to your heart
|
Listen to your soul
|
Listen to your common senses
|
I've been battered like a storm
|
Been run into a wall
|
Been vaulted like a row of fences
|
Don't be surprised
|
When those wide eyes
|
Drill a hole into the present tenses
|
You should cherish even more
|
The things that make us raw
|
Stay loyal to the consequences
|
|
And There Are So Many People
|
That Feel Let Down
|
Like I Do
|
