Frying Pan to Fire
They loved their image so much
How perfect they wanted to appear.
Avoiding a fight to please the right
When cuts came, they answered the call.
By cutting more and more
“As painless as possible cuts”, they said.
They joined in the chorus of it’s the fault
of the poor.
Just to keep the Mail away from the door.
Just to look cool, they joined the attack on
our good old unions
How shocking of us wanting to save jobs and
lives.
They ignore the 1400 just like all the rest
The hungry, and food bank was for us and all
our kin.
They ran to the hills when the swastika came
calling
Left the fight to the ones they call Looney
lefties.
But I guess in world of greed and austerity
They think anyone who cares is a Looney.
Off to the hills once more they go
As Pickles comes calling.
To destroy what’s left
Of my dear old town.
On a cut price excursion from
Frying Pan to Fire.
