It’s not as if…
It’s not as if our cash for questions MPs are generally on the rob
because they can’t get by on the salary from just the one city job
It’s not as if our welfare systems, fare less well for ever greater numbers
While they give boardroom jobs to tax dodgers and hedge funders
It’s not as if families are using food banks, or are forced onto the streets
While second homes get tax breaks stand empty behind locked gates.
It’s not as if politicians still play the immigration card in this day and age
Ignoring money-grabbing bosses who refuse to pay a living wage
It’s not as if the police tried to hide atrocities by concocting vicious fictions,
Selling their lies to the complicit tabloids, before retiring on full pensions
It’s not as if they are selling off the NHS, telling us that these are difficult times
Making the elderly and sick pay the price for the bankers and their crimes
So, it’s not as if come June the eighth you won’t know what to do
Vote for love vote for hope vote for the many and not the few
