Inequality Blues
Jack was a lad from London Town
He earned his living working underground
Nobody heard him make a sound
And the walls came a tumbling down
Jill came a rushing down the hill
Carrying a bucket of the government's spill
Hardly enough to pay the bills
And the walls came a tumbling down
Away, sending us away
We won't go away
We're the heart of this town
The jewels in the crown
Little Johnny kept his finger in the pie
He grew a hedge, but it grew too high
It blocked out everybody else's light
And the walls came a tumbling down.
There's a crook on the Old Kent Road
He asks Should we stay? or Should we go?
He profits from our fear
The seeds he sews
And the walls came a tumbling down
Away, sending us away
We won't go away
We're the heart of this town
The jewels in the crown
Away, sending us away
We won't go away
We're the heart of this town
The jewels in the crown
Take it back, take it back
Put it on the right track
Sick of the news, sick of the news
Inequality blues
Take it back, take it back
Put it on the right track
Sick of the news, sick of the news
Inequality blues
I don't care if it looks good or tastes a little sweeter
I just care about love and going a little deeper than the surface
Away, sending us away
We won't go away
We're the heart of this town
The jewels in the crown
Away, sending us away
We won't go away
We're the heart of this town
The jewels in the crown
He earned his living working underground
Nobody heard him make a sound
And the walls came a tumbling down
Jill came a rushing down the hill
Carrying a bucket of the government's spill
Hardly enough to pay the bills
And the walls came a tumbling down
Away, sending us away
We won't go away
We're the heart of this town
The jewels in the crown
Little Johnny kept his finger in the pie
He grew a hedge, but it grew too high
It blocked out everybody else's light
And the walls came a tumbling down.
There's a crook on the Old Kent Road
He asks Should we stay? or Should we go?
He profits from our fear
The seeds he sews
And the walls came a tumbling down
Away, sending us away
We won't go away
We're the heart of this town
The jewels in the crown
Away, sending us away
We won't go away
We're the heart of this town
The jewels in the crown
Take it back, take it back
Put it on the right track
Sick of the news, sick of the news
Inequality blues
Take it back, take it back
Put it on the right track
Sick of the news, sick of the news
Inequality blues
I don't care if it looks good or tastes a little sweeter
I just care about love and going a little deeper than the surface
Away, sending us away
We won't go away
We're the heart of this town
The jewels in the crown
Away, sending us away
We won't go away
We're the heart of this town
The jewels in the crown
