One Rule For Us
One rule for us
Another for you.
Power and wealth
Never give us our due.
You take the money
And privilege
We’re left food banks
And sleep under a bridge.
Playing the game
Without rules.
Treating us
Like fools.
Private schools,
Private health.
All the perks
That come with wealth
You claim to deserve it
But we do not.
You are worthy;
We do not count a jot.
Playing the game
Without rules.
Treating us
Like fools.
One rule for you.
One for us.
Step out of line
You’re under the bus.

Fairness and equality are myths – just like democracy.
Wealth buys power and privilege. Fairness doesn’t come into it.
We do not live in a meritocracy.
Scum rises to the top.
Wealth greases the pole and puts in a fast lift straight to the top.
Thirteen years of Tory rule has doubled the riches of the wealthy while throwing the rest of us into austerity, poverty and hopelessness.
Our public services are broken but the private schools and hospitals get handouts.
Food banks cater for millions and homeless beggars clog the streets.
Fairness and equality are myths – we’ll see about democracy!!
