The Price
Land of hope and glory so they said, boys
Here's a better world the siren voices called
Promise of a paper paradise, boys
Dancing with the ghost of yesterday
Politicians promised you the world, boys
Now here's the price the people have to pay
Poverty and prices rising
Lords and ladies dance tonight
Here's the bailiff with your meter
Read the news by candlelight
Ban the strikes and sack the nurses
Blame the war in east Ukraine
Politicians come to party
Watch your money dance tonight
Barricade the borders, lock your doors, boys
Turn away the refugee he's not like us
Take control of all our precious laws, boys
Strip the peoples human rights away
Still no magic money tree for you, boys
That's the price your kids will have to pay
Turn you anger inwards on your friends, boys
Learn to blame the doctors and the working poor
Nurses join the picket line today, boys
Protest rights will soon be stripped away
Speaking out will cost you fourteen years, boys
That's the price that silence has to pay
Land of hope and glory so they said boys
Here's a better world the siren voices called
Promise of a paper paradise boys
Dancing with the ghost of yesterday
Sold our future cheaply with a lie, boys
What a price for each of us to pay
Here's a better world the siren voices called
Promise of a paper paradise, boys
Dancing with the ghost of yesterday
Politicians promised you the world, boys
Now here's the price the people have to pay
Poverty and prices rising
Lords and ladies dance tonight
Here's the bailiff with your meter
Read the news by candlelight
Ban the strikes and sack the nurses
Blame the war in east Ukraine
Politicians come to party
Watch your money dance tonight
Barricade the borders, lock your doors, boys
Turn away the refugee he's not like us
Take control of all our precious laws, boys
Strip the peoples human rights away
Still no magic money tree for you, boys
That's the price your kids will have to pay
Turn you anger inwards on your friends, boys
Learn to blame the doctors and the working poor
Nurses join the picket line today, boys
Protest rights will soon be stripped away
Speaking out will cost you fourteen years, boys
That's the price that silence has to pay
Land of hope and glory so they said boys
Here's a better world the siren voices called
Promise of a paper paradise boys
Dancing with the ghost of yesterday
Sold our future cheaply with a lie, boys
What a price for each of us to pay
