Lyrics

They Lie

Kids on the street with fuck all to eat

Kids are starving today

Kids on the street are trying to survive

The government continue to lie lie lie

They lie lie lie lie

They lie to you

Hospitals shut down all over the country

People suffer each day

Hospital trusts more tory fuck ups

You and me suffer each day

They lie lie lie lie

They lie to you

One great nation but now its a shit house

The tories have done it again

A ub40 nothing to aim for

The government lying again

They lie lie lie lie

They lie to you

Homeless kids lying in doorways

Through no fault of their own

The faults in the system

But major won't change it

The government continue to lie
