Ragged

They wonder why we're stuck with football louts Now we've got no pride, no industrial clout No steel, no mines, no ships to build No production lines, no contracts filled Unskilled unemployment going through the roof Depression, suicide, disaffected youth They put more money in the NHS To disguise how it's all in such a mess, yeah Well crthur, he ain't got much hair But when it comes to the workers at least he cares Let's tax the rich to help the poor Take the fat-cat bosses and show them the door Plough profits back to support the growth Of the poor who work, not the rich who loaf Tressell was right when he slapped our wrists We're ragged trousered philanthropists, yeah You've got fire in your heart and you know it's true If you don't stop them then they'll get you They seduce you with stats and lies damned lies cs they pull the wool right over your eyes So clear your head and see the catch That the poor stay poor so the rich can stay rich Don't obscure the deeper wisdom Fight for a fairer social system.
