Mortgage My Arse

I had a friend who’s grandfather died someway The government stole his home away For his grandmother had Alzheimer’s disease Think not for herself anymore if you please So they stole her home to pay for her care Don’t you think that is so unfair Grandfather worked hard all his life To buy a nest for grandmother, his wife Three boys and a lass too, I am told So he toiled all his life to buy their abode Then the government stole it to pay all the fee’s Because grandmother had Alzheimer’s disease The government changed all the rules They treat the hoi polloi like fools We payed for our care once in the taxes of life Then they pulled the rug from grandmother his wife Who had Alzheimer’s disease, to pay all the fee’s They stole her abode and they put on the squeeze Grandfather did toil all his life He toiled for his children and wife All he did invest, to secure them a nest Then the government stole it away There’s a lesson in life to be learned Be careful with what you have earned If you have any worth at the end of the day Then the government will steal it away
