Lyrics

False Hopes

They're out to kill the working class

That means you and me

Maggie knows she can go and stuff

Her non woking politics

False hopes, job creations

False hopes, job creations

False hopes, job creations

Affecting you and me

False hopes like job creations

Are there to keep you down

Straws in the wind for the working man

Create nowt but misery

False hopes, job creations

False hopes, job creations

False hopes, job creations

Affecting you and me

Columns of the living dead

No voices to hear their plight

Stumble on aimlessly every day

To a perpetual night

False hopes, job creations

False hopes, job creations

False hopes, job creations

Affecting you and me

The working man is dying

Now robots take his place

And soon it will be your turn

To be redundant from the human race
