Lyrics for The Wasteland by Chumbawamba:
| | | Artist: | Chumbawamba |
| | Album: | Never Mind The Ballots | | Track: | The Wasteland | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 105 | | | | Lyrics: | Said the party to the ad-man
"We'll conjure up a gimmick -
The way to lead an ass
Is
with a carrot and a stick
Dig down for minorities
Promise them concessions
Ride in on
their backs
And then teach them all a lesson:
1. Unemployment means depression
2.
You're just victims of the recession
3. (We can count on their support -
if we channel
their you'll be saved
All these myths come tailor-made
To suit the Company
Director
Myths that praise the dignity
Of cheap, disposable labour
Two different
routes
To an industrial heaven
Work for the Boss and parliament
And all will be
forgiven
It's the fear of being sacked
That lets the Boss step up the face
Because
the minute you step out of line
There's someone took your place
Said the MP to the
media:
"Can't we juggle this around?
Sprinkle sugar on the dogshit
And we'll keep the
figures down
Never let the left hand
See what's in the right
No-one's any
wiser
And the problem's our of sight..."
Job Clubs, Restart, YTS, CP's,
EAS:
Take your democratic choice
Take a scheme or starve
Company profits
doubled
Wages chopped in half
Offer your life to the one true Church:
In the
name of the Conservative Party
The Labour Party
And the Liberal Alliance
The promised
land where banks outnumber churches
And your cars shall be martyrs to the
cause!
Capitalism in crisis...
But on the third day it shall rise again.
