You’re sick, you’re old, you’re vulnerable
We’re questioning your worth
Your contribution’s negligible
And has been since your birth
You’re young, useless, culpable
Your prospects nullified
We’ve weighed you up, unapprovable
Reduced spending’s justified
You’re unemployed, uncoachable
You’re lazy, mental, broke
We dole it out, you spend it all
On drink and fags and dope
We care, of course, we’re honourable
Our policies humane
All of them enforceable
Lessons sanctioned by champagne
We’re wealthy, placed and personable
You’re excess baggage, weight
We’re necessary, you are not
A drain on social state
We’ve worked it out, forecastable
We only need enough
To function, you’re expendable
The breaks, we know, are tough
The rabble are forfeitable
Population needs decreased
We’ve cast our charts, all graphable
You’re due to be deceased
We spout, believe you’re gullible
We coat facts with our gloss
Your presence here untenable
Quite frankly, you’re no loss
Don’t think that we are horrible
We’re really not, you know
We have to be responsible
And you have got to go
We’ve pruned the tree, it’s laughable
You used to own the lot
But things change hands, all leachable
Either got it or you’ve not
We’re afraid it’s unpreventable
We just can’t go on this way
You may say that life’s lamentable
But you don’t really have a say
So that’s it folks, regrettable
If you’re chosen, hop on board
It’s been, you know, all calculable
Order will be, soon, restored
Arguably the greatest institution of Britain is its National Health Service (NHS). How long before it joins this list? (See UK) What were once publicly owned, privatised. An ongoing policy of dismantling. Neglect, claim insupportable, sell for a song, profit the few, failure to reinvest. Charge or divest. To the detriment of the infrastructure. Blame the populace. Social engineering a la government. This will be the ‘sharing society’ then?
