Government recession from Opinions by Dermid Forde

Every time that you watch the telly or listen to the radio
You hear about how people need to tighten up their belts
How food prices or alcohol prices have gone up
Or how there’s no money to keep a kids skate park open

Chorus
What makes me laugh
Is that the government is insisting on benefit cuts,
They are reforming the benefit system
They also reduce funding for resources, left, right and centre
Ironically the same government are giving a military funeral to a milk snatcher

Verse 2

I keep hearing about this “big society” – what is that???
Is it jobs for all that can work? Erm – No!!
They also say some waffle about equal opportunities
I can remember times where I have gone to interviews
Surprise, surprise – I am still unemployed

Chorus

What makes me laugh
Is that the government is insisting on benefit cuts,
They are reforming the benefit system
They also reduce funding for resources, left, right and centre
Ironically the same government are giving a military funeral to a milk snatcher

Verse 3

My view on government is to get the MP’s to live on the hand outs that they give to people, government says how they want jobs for British people, thats funny I’m British and I can’t find work – wait a minute I forgot I’m disabled.

The government seems to tax all people apart from the rich; They remind of the plot from Robin Hood, tax the poor, give it to the rich.

Chorus

What makes me laugh
Is that the government is insisting on benefit cuts,
They are reforming the benefit system
They also reduce funding for resources, left, right and centre
Ironically the same government are giving a military funeral to a milk snatcher
