A Working-Class Family Go Out Shopping With Very Little Money, In The Hope That It'll Last 'Till The End Of The Week.
Put four pounds of petrol in the second-hand car
that was given to us by your sister,
it's all we can afford.
It should be enough to get us there and back,
maybe enough to see your mum in the week.
We'll just have to see how things go.
Drive past M&S
along Cryws Road,
and past all those shops that you like;
Waitrose - you're having a laugh!
Tesco - we want to buy groceries, not sell our souls.
We are animals
of the state,
so get us down to Farmfoods.
One pound for this,one pound for that
Turkey Twizzlers
all we can afford to be
is Fat.

Agree with Cynthia. It's a report from the frontline. And I like the rhythm of it too
