From The Playground To The Wasteground
Hope Ends At 17 -
Sweeping Floors And Filling Shelves
Forced Into Government Schemes -
11 Years Spent To Dig Out Ditches,
Forget Your Schoolday Dreams -
Guarantees And Lie-filled Speeches,
But Nothings What It Seems -
Qualified And Patronised And With Everything To Lose.
No Choice Or Chance For The Future
The Rich Enjoy Less Tax -
Dress The Girls In Pretty Pink
The Shit Goes To The Blacks
A Generation's Heart Torn Out
And Covered Up The Facts
The Only Thing They'll Understand
Is A Wall Against Their Backs
The Only Hope Now Left For Those - With Everything To Lose.

In Desperation Empty Eyes,
Signed Up And Thrown Away -
There's Drugs Replacing Dignity,
The Short Sharp Shock Repaid -
There'll Be No Money If You Dare To Question
Working The Tory Way -
The Truth Is Up There Carved In Stone,
Where 21 Dead Now Lay -
A Family's Loss For A Few Pounds Saved -
With Everything To Lose.
