Austerity Blues

Zero hour contracts, minimum wage
Things ain't looking good in this day and age

Austerity Blues
Times are getting tough
We got everything to lose

The high street's a ghost town, no cops on the street
This is the paradise where the homeless sleep

Austerity Blues
Times are getting tough
We got everything to lose

You can even buy one, get one free
This never made no sense to me

Times are really tough
We got everything to lose

It's the rich that get the gravy, the poor that get the blame
It's the same the whole world over, ain't it a crying shame?

Austerity Blues
Times are getting tough
We got everything to lose

If you think things ain't what they used to be
Go back in time and you will see

Times are getting tough
We got everything to lose
