I’d like it on the record that I don’t agree with Nick He comes across as smarmy - an insufferable prick What the hell was he thinking? Was his memory that flawed? When he opened wide the floodgates for the Tory horde Did he think they’d be contrite? Had a Damascene turnabout? Not just looking for a trough in which to shove their snouts But so Nick could feel important grab a sliver of power After Thatcher and Blair has come our darkest hour They have no courage they have no heart When they open their mouths clearly not smart Dumb, heartless cowards tory crème de la crème No empathy or feelings for those worse off than them First they brought in workfare but the law had to be changed To make wage legislation allow slavery again Then they focused students wildly ramping up the fees To keep them all in debt - acquiescence guaranteed They say there is no money but cut taxes for the the rich And strange they found eight million for that dead Tory bitch George whines about the deficit but debt keeps ever rising Austerity’s a weapon harsh, uncompromising They have no courage they have no heart When they open their mouths clearly not smart Dumb, heartless cowards tory crème de la crème No empathy or feelings for those worse off than them Fucking Tory Scum only think about themselves Fucking Tory Scum don’t care about our health Fucking Tory Scum closing hospital beds Fucking Tory Scum will see us all dead Fucking Tory Scum just sip on their margueritas Fucking Tory Scum while overworking the teachers Fucking Tory Scum don’t want the poor educated Fucking Tory Scum just want their spoons silver plated They went from hugging hoodies to committing moral crimes Reducing inequality one death at a time Accuse benefit claimants of sloth and lethargy Yet none get anything like that claimed by most MPs Jobs are fewer, wages lower as is their intention Retirement ages going up as they steal our pensions They’re selling off our NHS they’re selling off our schools They think we haven’t noticed they’re taking us for fools They have no courage they have no heart When they open their mouths clearly not smart Dumb, heartless cowards tory crème de la crème No empathy or feelings for those worse off than them

Toto 01:54
So having sold the housing stock and made private rents soar They find that Housing Benefit is costing more and more Instead of blaming landlords whose greed nauseates They slap a bedroom tax on those who cannot relocate The tales of death and suffering become harder to ignore Toto, we’re not in fucking Kansas any more Then at the DWP plumbing depths few would stoop Their arbitrary rules compel the poor to jump through hoops Your bus was late? You had to walk? It really isn’t funny When they hit you with sanctions and you haven’t any money They want us all in workhouses like in the days of yore Toto, we’re not in fucking Kansas any more Not just the poor and unemployed that they have in their sights Step up junior doctors already working day and night Not hard enough for Jeremy he wants to make it tougher And when there is a shortage I think we know who’ll suffer Hunt imposes contracts but he doesn’t know the law Toto, we’re not in fucking Kansas any more Those cowardly Tory cunts pick on the sick, the weak, the poor Toto, we’re not in fucking Kansas any more TOTO!

War 02:28
Nobody expected the mass Milliband rejection Not even the Tories thought they’d win that election But we all woke next morning to find them in control It looked like it was time for us to learn la carmagnole We saw on the TV from their glazed, smug expressions They no longer felt there was need for discretion They now planned to make a grab for what they hold most dear Before their incompetence became crystal clear They checked their stocks and shares and debts from palms greased Before casting their eyes greedily to the East With Israel and Saudi disrupting the region Opportunities for profit will always be legion Once it was that weapons were crafted for war But now making money is what warfare is for They needed support but pushed it through easy In part through Hilary Benn and Bomber Creasey They want to make some money Here comes their chance They can bomb Syria While supporting France Just caring about profit not considering the cost Ignoring devastation innocent lives lost Take no responsibility for what’s gone down Let the victims live in Calais in their shanty towns Just caring about profit not considering the cost Ignoring devastation innocent lives lost Take no responsibility for what’s gone down Let the victims live in Calais in their shanty towns HEY HEY THERESA MAY HOW MANY KIDS DID YOU KILL TODAY? ...

DDP 02:46
It’s been nearly forty years of planned degeneration Screwing people over for corporate domination Thatcher, Major, Blair - Tories through and through Now Cameron and Osborne will enslave your children too Defund Destroy Privatise the duplicitous agenda behind Tory lies The nationalised utilities - water and power No they weren’t perfect but at least they were ours They told us they were broken needed cutbacks to mend Then stole them from us all, sold them cheap to their friends Defund Destroy Privatise the duplicitous agenda behind Tory lies Let’s not forget the trains, poor old British Rail Hugely underfunded, set up to fail Now prices are ridiculous and aren’t spent on the track Bugger off Abellio we want our railway back Defund Destroy Privatise Isn’t it obvious? To me it seems plain They use the same methodology again and again They privatise the profits and nationalise the losses Higher bills for us bonuses for the bosses Don’t even get me started on those ghastly PFIs That leave less and less for services ‘cause payments are so high Don’t think it’s an accident just underhand tactics As things break down up pops another Tory with a ‘fix’ Defund Destroy Privatise the duplicitous agenda behind Tory lies Don’t believe the country’s bankrupt and somehow cash deprived We know there was less money in 1945 Throughout World War 2 people had had it tough And they all stood together said enough is enough I’ve been one of the people who cried we had no choice Vanilla party options that ensured we had no voice But finally we have one our interests are up front And if you won’t support Corbyn Then you might be a Jeremy Hunt Defend Rebuild Renationalise ...
