about

Part 3 of the Tony Blair trilogy.
A song about "betrayers of our trust".

lyrics

Chorus
Bankers priests and politicians,
Unholy marriage with big religions
Fake donations to faith foundations
Rise up; vent your condemnation!
Morally bankrupt totally corrupt.
We’re all bust through greed lies and lust
Awake your disgust for betrayers of our trust

Tony Blair, unrepentant and hard
Like a psycho star, an Alan B’stard.
Are you on the left or really on the right?
Do your palms sweat, how do you sleep at night?

Chorus

He was a leader of a great nation
A bold deceiver of a generation
Played poker with a joker, with a right hot flush,
Doing good deals wi’ G Dubya Bush,

Chorus

On the backs of the weak they ride_____
To the people they guide, they just lied____:
They cheat the poor to feed their grubby greed
While real workers are left in need, to bleed___

Chorus

Body language trained to perfection
To get your attention, make a media connection
Silver tongues sweet as honey
They’re all just in it for the money_____

Chorus

You got it all baby in high society
You played for it, wealth, fame and notoriety
But the media beasts will have their feasts
On élitist ‘social-ist high priests.

Chorus
