lyrics

As the grip of property
developers tightens
Leaving luxury apartments in its wake
Even the once so vibrant
Grosvenor in Stockwell
Was forced to close
all boarded up rotting away
The crushing cost of city life just keeps on rising Forcing
poorer renting folks to move away
Foreign investors disregarding people's lives when Cuts stricken councils flogging every public place

CH
Their crippling austerity Is ripping up communities
Our neighbourhoods socially cleansed Extortionate rising rents
Bailed out the banks with our money The poorest in society
Neglected by this government Who only serve the one percent

As the gap between the classes ever widens
Increasing homelessness and child poverty rates
People queueing up at food banks nationwide now
While the richest get rewarded with tax breaks
The NHS and social care being neglected
In preparation for a private healthcare state
Believing politicians porky pies
you'll never know what you are missing til it's gone and then it's too late

Br
When you lose your job
Then you lose your home
When there's no one left
And you're on your own

Comme d'habitude, j'ai bien du mal à choisir une "favorite track" avec ce groupe de Trashgrass qui excelle dans son domaine. Mais là, j'ai réussi à me décider finalement. XD EklektikTrip
