Troubles in ToryLand



What it must feel like to be in government 
To appeal to people 
That we might be elected 
Elected 
With a dagger stashed in the small of our back 

How easy to play the card of our common interests
That the foreign foe needs a common front
That we would be the best to deal the death blow
The blow
That they never knew was coming back

We boast amongst ourselves at the bar
That we are colourblind 
That what we do to one, we do to another
Another
Never mind that they are our own people that now lie in the gutter. 

We are the people that laugh and joke
Our glasses filled with corporate glamour 
Our bellies with the sufferings of those others 
Others 
Whose voices will never be heard.
