Lyrics

Mr Speaker

With a friendly smile
You tell your lies

Well spoken guile
From behind shark’s eyes

Your owners have caused a great fall
Your donors made fools of us all

You sold us out for something handsome
Retiring young to a king’s ransom.

You’re a pawn as much as the rest
But you took the opportunity to feather your nest

They all say that you’re clever
But they don’t seem to see

That your words are never
Spoken earnestly

You pretended to believe
To gain support from people you deceive

It seems you see yourself as more grand
Like a figure from a book by Ayn Rand

You would steal from your constituents
Calling what is theirs entitlements

As though from your own hand it came
You lie and say that we are to blame

You vilify the vulnerable
And make their lives more miserable

When all the money we could ever need
Is hidden in tax havens overseas
the owners do not want to pay the price
To make our country great as they say
They rely on subterfuge and vice
To keep their money and their place

You saw the writing on the wall
And fearing nigh would come a fall

You ran just like a thief
Your villainous service complete
