Fundamental Birth Rights
A decent home is a fundamental birth right, fought for by our ancestors
So is clean water and a good education to boot
Who said it ok to profit from these rights?
Who said it ok to make loads of loot?
Nasty times are making people homeless
Making them demoralised and weak
Nasty people cause this pain
And the nation turns the other cheek!
"It's their own fault they've got bugger all"
Say's the girl on Asda's till
"They need get off their **** and do something about it"
"All this scrounging makes me ill"
"No one helped me so no one should help you either"
Is typical of what they say
Lets hope hard times don't fall upon on you some unfortunate unlucky day!
Engels said "each according to their abilities, each according to their needs"
"No one should own the resources no one should own the land deeds"
Because All the wealth belongs to all the people and this is how it should be
A decent home, education and life should all be gratis, free
As we can all contribute to society in our own special way
Dependent on age, skill, strength and abilities depends on what you pay
No one should suffer at the hands of a rich and elite chosen few
So putting the land and resources into the peoples hands is what we must pursue
No more homelessness no more hunger no more disdain
A decent home and the means are needed to end the poverty and the pain
These are fundamental birth rights
