broken britain - tournier lyrics
[verse 1]
lets talk about council estates
shouting at home
coz the rent is late
mums on their own
little babys cry
can’t afford gas or electric tonight
lets talk about working class
we work and work
with tax its half
retire we pray
our pensions last
we’re wasting away
they forget about us
[pre*chorus]
and all my time through this ghost town
shops are getting all closed down
society don’t care about us no more
and the people at the top
they don’t care to understand
so i say go f*ck the government
this is broken britain
have they forgot?
[chorus]
street biz violent kids
somebody ask what violence is
when your sat on your own
can’t buy no sh*t
and your left to remain in the dirt x2
[verse 2]
lets talk about the nhs
where the fundings cut
and they do their best
with the little they got
systems a mess
people cry
the waiting list
there just waiting to die
or the kids in care
feeling lost and abused
and be left on their own
and the world that they view
is so cold and they go
no support as they grow
no hope no dream or a goal
[pre*chorus]
and all my time through this ghost town
shops are getting all closed down
society don’t care about us no more
and the people at the top
they don’t care to understand
so i say go f*ck the government
this is broken britain
have they forgot?
[chorus]
street biz violent kids
somebody ask what violence is
when your sat on your own
can’t buy no sh*t
and your left to remain in the dirt x2
[post*chorus]
and all my time through this ghost town
shops are getting all closed down
society don’t care about us no more
and the people at the top
they don’t care to understand
so i say go f*ck the government
this is broken britain
have they forgot?
[bridge]
where is the help now?
all i see is pain
when i look out
the streets are not to blame
we won’t calm down
will this ever change
we can’t see how x2
[verse 3]
catch me sitting in the barbershop
with the pain yeah my mind can rot
i like to talk to my barber a lot
let out the stress that has all built up
look out the window and wonder why
things are troubled in all our lives
and believe me oh yeah we try
but we feel f*cked off all the time
together we pray
working hard for a beautiful day
lot of love on the council estates
just a place everyone can relate
theres a reason to why we behave
in a way to put food on the plate
forced in a life of despair
so many people up in the city
who lose their house and now they are here
[chorus]
street biz violent kids
somebody ask what violence is
when your sat on your own
can’t buy no sh*t
and your left to remain in the dirt x2
[post*chorus]
and all my time through this ghost town
shops are getting all closed down
society don’t care about us no more
and the people at the top
they don’t care to understand
so i say go f*ck the government
this is broken britain
have they forgot?
