lyrics

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
