I can’t sleep
because I’m thinking about tomorrow.
I can’t eat
because I’m thinking about tomorrow.
I can’t forget
because I’m thinking about tomorrow.
and I’m remembering when I voted for what I believed in
when I bought the the hype and the T-Shirt too
and I put the X in the wrong box
so I’m thinking about tomorrow
and how the poor are punished for not being rich and the rich tell us that it’s all the immigrants fault and the banks still aren’t regulated, and zero hours contracts are acceptable and a man who married a millionaire’s daughter insists that he can live on £53 a week and another guy with a pint is trying to pretend he’s just like us and the disabled are being forced to work and the dying are living in fear of hunger and people with spare rooms are
hounded hounded hounded
and now people are dead, and Sure Start centres and maternity units are closing and you can’t even go to a tribunal about losing your job because they’ll charge you for the privilege, and your hungry, you’re just so hungry, and no one understands, and they tell you it’s all your fault, and you chose this life, and your children are starving, because the rent has gone up and they’re still telling you that it’s your fault and there are no jobs and you are
hounded hounded hounded
Because someone like me, an idiot like me made the wrong choice and voted for the wrong party, who went back on their promises and failed to protect the vulnerable and I honestly thought I was doing the right thing, because I believed the hype and I made sure I voted, but I went to for the wrong party, and I put the X in the wrong box and it’s election time tomorrow
and I can’t sleep
because I’m thinking about tomorrow
and I can’t eat
because I’m thinking about tomorrow.
and I forget
because I’m thinking about to tomorrow
and they’re telling me to vote what I believe in
and I don’t know what that is anymore
