Lyrics Illegitimi Non Carborundum - Asbo Slipz

Somebody stop me reading the papers
Just makes me angry seeing the capers
Of the elected, duly appointed,
Members who populate highest office
Tribal behaviours, riding the gravy
Train while they dispense their grace and favour
If you're connected you can get rich quick
Jobs for the old boys, taking the piss from you and me

And they want sovereignty, to take control
Of where the money flows
Their only interest in bank accounts
Offshore beyond the law
And while they fill their boots
Through dodgy deals with men in suits
Be sure to wave your Union Jack
'Cos now you've got your country back

(Illegitimi Non Carborundum)
(Illegitimi Non Carborundum)

Thought things were bad but now they're atrocious
Out of the East they carried a virus
Started off slowly, now all around us
Killing the old folk off by the thousand
Look on the bright side, think for a minute
Nobody's talking much about Brexit
This is a godsend, hell of a smoke screen
Spend all you want and blame Covid-19

An opportunity to make some hay
Just look the other way
Awarding contracts in emergency
Avoiding scrutiny
And we're the suckers in this
Three card trick, this Ponzi scheme
Be sure to wave your Union Jack
'Cos now you've got your country back

(Illegitimi Non Carborundum)
(Illegitimi Non Carborundum)

Hope this is all that you ever wanted
Fell for their lies and now led by donkeys
Keynesian disciples, free market bitches
Helping their rich friends to become richer
Watch them dismantle things that you value
Selling it piecemeal to Uncle Samuel
Can't get my head round this doublethink piece
Voting for Boris then clapping for the NHS

We're in a right old mess, we're up shit creek
And now we've sprung a leak
The ship of state is not tip top and Bristol
Fashion, it's a wreck
And you can bet your neck
The Captain will be first to man the lifeboats
No women and children first
Don't let the bastards grind you down
Don't let the bastards grind you down

(Illegitimi Non Carborundum)
(Illegitimi Non Carborundum)
(Illegitimi Non Carborundum)
