The Complainant's Complaint

entry picture

(The complainnant's complaint, 

is a constant refrain-)

''woe is me- 

yes me

they're all to blame!

(points at them)

I'm squeezed in the middle 

(points at self)

by those with no name,

pity me 

-not them-

they're all to blame!''

 

(They read the Sun and The Daily mail- screaming)

''why don't they send 'em all off to jail?

give to me 

-not to them-

coz they want the same,

give to me

- coz they're all to blame,

them paki's and blacks, 

them poles and the lame

the unemployed are just scroungers, 

single mums are the same,

my blood pressure's rising, 

the government's too tame,

my investments are falling, 

i'm going insane,

my prayers go unanswered, 

my complaining's in vain

lesbian theatre'll give me 

a burst in the brain...!''

 

''I should have gone

to Australia

like my brother

and his wife

where life is just a honey

with no trouble 

and no strife''.
