The Wasteland
Said the party to the ad-manWe'll conjure up a gimmickThe way to lead an assIs with a carrot and a stickDig down for minoritiesPromise them concessionsRide in on their backsAnd then teach them all a lessonUnemployment means depressionYou're just victims of the recessionWe can count on their supportIf we can channel their emotions(Chorus)Populate the wastelandBetween leisure and the graveWork and pray and place your voteAnd some day you'll be savedAll these myths come tailor-madeTo suit the company directorMyths that praise the dignityOf cheap, disposable laborTwo different routesTo an industrial heavenWork for boss and parliamentAnd all will be forgivenIt's the fear of being sackedLetras de cancionesThat lets the boss step up the paceBecause the minute you step out of lineThere's someone took your place(Repeat chorus)Said the MP to the mediaCan't we juggle this aroundSprinkle sugar on the dog shitAnd we'll keep the figures downNever let the left handSee what's in the rightNo-one's any wiserAnd the problem's out of sightTake your democratic choiceTake a scheme or starveJob clubs, restart, YTS, CPs, EASCompany profits doubledWages chopped in half(Repeat)(Repeat chorus)Offer your life to the one true churchIn the name of the conservative partyThe labor partyAnd the liberal allianceThe promised land where banks outnumber churchesAnd your cars shall be martyrs to the causeCapitalism in crisisBut on the third day it shall rise againBut on the third day it shall rise From Letras Mania
