Lyrics

They promised no austerity, to build a better place to live.
Just empty words to sway our trust, and lead us to another war.

Thrown into greater debt and public services are getting worse.
We’re paying more to live and getting even less back in return.
It’s burning down again, those glory days are gone forever now.
Ten years we’ll be third world if we don’t find the strength to stand our ground.

Win votes with promises, then all we get is contradictions.
Tell lies to win our trust, the memories are still fresh.
They fight to keep our faith, we fail to see the contradictions.
The truth is life’s not fair, a different rule for everyone.

They promised change and did nothing, just made things worse for you and me.
Now we all must pay the price, and lose the freedom in our lives.

Win votes with promises, then all we get is contradictions.
Tell lies to win our trust, the memories are still fresh.
They fight to keep our faith, we fail to see the contradictions.
The truth is life’s not so fair, a different rule for everyone.

The fear is real for us, we can’t escape from it.

They promised no austerity, to build a better place to live.
Just empty words to win our trust, and lead us to another war.
They promised change and did nothing, just made things worse for you and me.

We can’t go on, living like this. Caught in this fear, with all this hate.
It’s time to change, to walk away, to see the truth and keep our faith.
