    Lyrics

    Do you remember the time, we crossed the poverty line
    And the sun shone on those in the shade
    Our grandfathers fought and the vision they sought
    Was a helping hand from cradle to grave
    But now that’s all over, and long been forgot
    And the profits all go to the men at the top
    And the promises of 45 are just broken dreams and lies

    Foodbanks and Ferraris on the rise

    They say times are tough and there isn’t enough
    To pay the poor the sick and so on
    But the profits still flow and the bonuses grow
    And we all know where the money has gone.
    Those robber barons in their ivory towers
    Are eating the fruits of what could’ve been ours.

    Foodbanks and Ferraris on the rise

    The gap between your place & mine gets wider every day
    You pay the press, you pay for votes to make sure it stays that way

    Foodbanks and Ferraris on the rise
