One for the working classes whose political voice is rapidly disappearing, in and out of Parliament. Free market economics are fine if they apply to all, but workers are forbidden from joining unions and striking, the law is skewed in favour of practices that favour employers. Banks gamble and lose, and the tax payer is left to pick up the bill; so where is the ‘free’ in the free market? Are we under the Orwellian, ‘everyone is free only some are more free that others’ or are those on top ‘free’ to exploit those on the bottom? Time for a wake up call.
Alarm Call
Wake up the working classes!
Wake up! Wake up!
Your life is disappearing,
down the drain
While you watch TV
That’s rotting your brain.
A cell killing diet
of soap from the sink.
Until, you no longer know
what it is, to think.

Wake up the working classes!
Wake up! Wake up!
Your future hopes
Are being cut away,
While you sit dreaming
of stardom in X-Factor
for your son or daughter.
Blinded by celebrity:
wake up and face-up to,
the con of this ‘reality’!

Wake up the working classes.
Wake up! Wake up!
You’ve forgotten your history
The story of your labour,
What your ancestors fought and died for.
Remember Tolpuddle and Peterloo,
The Suffragettes and Miners
As citizens, not subjects,
This nation is not one class,
It is your country too.
