The Sixty Second Scribe
You can’t expect that somebody
With the best that bupa offers
Would defend the NHS when
People seek to shrink its coffers
You can’t expect that somebody
With millions in their pocket
Would defend a raise to benefits
Instead of trying to block it
You can’t expect that somebody
With millions in the bank
Would pass a law that takes from people
With millions in the bank
You can’t expect that somebody
Who sends their kids to Eton
Would support your local schools
When they start to look moth-eaten
You can’t expect that somebody
Who’s never been short of notes
Would act in other’s interests
So why keep giving them our votes?
