They Don't Represent Us

They Don't Represent Us.

(Written on the eve of ' More of the Same'.

 

They don't represent me or us

their loyalty is to the unjust.

We are impotent and they know it

and it is beyond our power to overthrow it.

 

They don't represent me or us

because they seek personal wealth and lust.

They don't care a hoot if we should go bust

that leaves us to rot and rust.

 

They don't represent me or us

as they inhabit circles above our station.

They are concerned with their own consolation

and are blind to our impoverished situation.

 

They don't represent me or us

in fact they don't give a damn.

They are above the ordinary working man

and remain obedient to old Uncle Sam.

 

They don't represent me or us

as they crawl up each others arses.

They sing their own conceited verses

and we are left to pick up the pieces.

 

They don't represent me or us

behind our backs they seek to cheat.

This is why they have enough to eat

and when its cold they always have heat.

 

They don't represent me or us

and are oblivious when we make a fuss.

They consider themsleves to be more sophisticated

as we are the rabble and the uneducated.

 

They don't represent me or us

as they are consumed by discrimination.

and send to Africa those seeking immigration

the day will surely dawn on their own well earned damnation.

This is so so so good. Outstanding style, feels like punk rock.
