In Recession
In Recession
We are hitting a recession
I’m in deepest depression
Prices increasing all the time
Even politicians turning to crime
We’re all going down the pan
brother sister woman and man
Still nice to see BP doing well
Making record profits so’s Shell
Still it’s not all doom and gloom
if you’re unable to heat a room
Skip a few meals pay the rent
When you’re homeless buy a tent
Mortgage rates up, pay’s down
Catch a bus and head for town
Get a dog and an empty can
Kitted out to beg, now that’s a plan!
