The school bell calls to a playground thats bristling
The teachers shout orders but no-one is listening
Nurses take slaps from drunks after midnight
While pay cuts are threatened no chance of a respite
The Barman shouts time to a pub without drinkers
While libraries echo with thoughts of past thinkers
The keyboard replaces the art of plain talking
As people in gym's just go aimlessly walking
Our kids all have homework that goes on forever
According to OFSTED it makes them so clever
No thoughts of a childhood for this generation
Just SATS tests and figures the MP's creation
Just thinking why bother and why toe the line
Despite all our history its not worth a dime
We've not learned the lesson that shouts in our face
Its only us humans that think its a race.
The High Street is quiet except for protesters
While car parks are full at McDonalds and Tesco's
Money that fed all the butchers and bakers
Now lines greedy pockets of bankers, just takers.
The e-shop has taken the fun from our shopping
Our fingers get tired and our bank accounts dropping
The telephone rings when you answer its quiet
They've something to sell but you dont wan't to buy it
We cant go for a break if the room has no Wifi
You've not been away if you drive there and dont fly
Buy shopping and spend lots to get your cheap fuel
Burn it while queuing just who is the fool?
Just thinking why bother and why toe the line
Despite all our history its not worth a dime
We've not learned the lesson that shouts in our face
Its only us humans that think its a race.
Roads are all potholes they rattle our brains
The railways are packed and there's never no trains
But we find 60 billion to finance one track
So we can go quicker to London and back.
Our power is expensive we sold all our shares
So the foreigners charge what they like well who cares?
The hospital trust cant afford to get cleaners
So those super bugs just get meaner and meaner
Badgers get sympathy while cattle are shot
They look so damned cute its not TB they'e got
Don't dredge the rivers you'll kill all the selfish
So I live on a mountain just why am I selfish?.
Just thinking why bother and why toe the line
Despite all our history its not worth a dime
We've not learned the lesson that shouts in our face
Its only us humans that think its a race.
