Lyrics

Breadline Britain

This is Breadline Britain

This free and promised land

Breadline Britain

Where the rich don't give a damn

People gettin' hungry and people gettin' poor

People gettin' destitute and more

Ooh, this is Breadline Britain

Oh, you've got to understand

Breadline Britain

Where evil's in command

Where money buys only bad dreams

And a worker's life is damned

Democracy and freedom are a

Far-off foreign land

Ooh, this is Breadline Britain

Where the sick don't stand a chance

Breadline Britain

Where fascism leads a new dance

Where they'd privatize your mother

If given half a chance

This is Breadline Britain

You've got to make a stand

Breadline, breadline, breadline Britain

Breadline, breadline, breadline Britain

This free and promised land
