lyrics

I wouldn't have a clue if it wasn't for one figure
who told me that this shit was only getting bigger
up until then I had faith in you all
I never doubted the authority of rule
Turns out the rumours weren't rumours at all
You had it in for everyone from the day you were torn
between the decision of righteous and the wealth of your wallet
Your daughter has a pony but my brother has a bullet in his back
do you care now do you care at all?
do you care now do you care at all?

So come on mr cameron i can't hear what your saying
You're standing so far away noone can hear you at all
Only the big guys, with their briefcases and suits
What about the little ones? with their trackies and boots
and there's a mumma out there, with four little things
feeding off sixty pound every two weeks
doing pretty good, doing better than most
the most beautiful thing was a familys able to grow
Sorry i can't hear you? What did you say?
She's costing you too much each and every day
But she belongs to you sir, you were employed to protect her
You're standing in the castle so do something for her
Instead you're going to kick her whilst she's done,
And the other big guys can get a bit more grouind
Just do us a favour go grab a dagger
Get rid of us all wont it do you a favour

So maybe soon you can be king of the world
get rid of the rough treat the rest of them proud
I'll tell you something i'll tell you it now
infact i'm going to tell this entire fucking crowd
after you whos it going to be, after that it's going to be another nobody
Cause you're noone my friend, nothing at all
You dedicated a life to ruining us all
Steal from the poor, give to the rich
Maybe you can spend it on a lady of the night
Who's only there because she needs to be
She's always dreamt of a home and a family
but she's got no way of being she's got nothing at all
you seem to think that this is all her fault
can't you see what you're doing is such a disgrace,
We're meant to be a country not an entire race
that's out for each, there's you and there's us
Only you've got the power and a lot of it too
If only we had the money to devise such a cunning plan so manipulative and wise
We'd break you down, we'd crush you too
Now I'm sounding just like you!
So take what you want, take what you need
we'll be standing here fucking arms glory
I'm not sure if you've met us have you met us at all
we're a nation of bulldogs and piss up the wall
we drink tea when it's cold, beer when it's flat
dinner for breakfast and spirits for nightcaps
so excuse me sir, could you fuck off out our lives
You're taking away everything that makes us all right
We Don't care about the money we don't care at all
We just want enough to keep our familys warm
can't help but think you dont feel this way to
There are big guys in chairs that you still need to prove
you're the biggest of all, do you feel big today
Whilst children cry and families break

Whilst children cry and families break...

Fuck you mr
Fuck you muchly
Fuck you for the families that are broken by the stress
Fuck you for the lovers who are left on their own
Fuck you for the children who've yet to grow
fuck you for the taxman who takes all your shit
And fuck you for the shit that we get from his shit
Fuck you for the pensioner who is left on their own
in a country she's always loved and known
more than anyone else, more than you and I
But you leave her in a room whilst he waits to die
Fuck you for the schools, Fuck you for the fools
Fuck you for the schools, fuck you for the fools...

Fuck you thatcher fuck you most of all
For taking away all the fucking milk.

about

Echo & The Beats Brighton, UK

This young and experimental 4 piece are looking to push the boundaries of modern music, sticking their middle fingers up to the government. Yet to be placed into a genre, these guys mix up punk and ska, throw a bit of mod in there, give it a cheeky dose of spoken word and then scream the fuck over it. Who knows what type of music this is, but everyone seems to be going mental for them. ... more
