Rough Ride - Squeeze

It looks like we’re having a rough old ride

There’s no place to run there’s no place to hide

No such thing as society

Let them rustle where they may

Poor souls!

Let them eat cake

Affordable housing and unobtainable dreams

There’s nothing for you here

Why don’t you move away

Compassion and loyalty are so yesterday’s news

No one cares what you have to say

My children are working all hours they can

To live in this city we love

But they can’t imagine a life like I’ve had

Either you’re rich or it’s tough.

Seagulls follow the trawler

It’s because they think sardines

Will be thrown into the sea

There’s a sucker born every

Minute it seems

Aiming high and.

Sinking low

Directing attention

Away from the trick

As every illusionist knows

My children are working all hours they can

To live in this city we love

But they can’t imagine a life like I’ve had

Either you’re rich or it’s tough.

Either you’re rich or it’s tough.

Either you’re rich or it’s tough.

Give us a home somewhere we’re safe

Give us enough food on our plates

We want to stay near to our friends

We are the future you can defend

Austerity, austerity is that all you have to give to me?

Austerity, austerity is that all you have to give to me?

Austerity, austerity is that all you have to give to me?

Austerity, austerity is that all you have to give to me?
