The Definition of Madness Lyrics

I’ve seen the city lights – they’re shining brighter than before The money men are happy now – they live as though above the law With zero hours, enslave the poor – big business doesn’t care at all Donations to the ruling class – ensures the profits stay offshore I think we’ve seen this all before This is the definition of madness – we’re doing it all again Just doing the same thing again and again – we’re doing it all again How can we expect a different outcome – we’re doing it all again Until we curb this arrogance and greed Create a playground for the rich – as Knightsbridge swings and thinks it’s hip No questions asked of provenance – their laundered money’s welcome here Sell national assets behind closed doors as they privatise hospitals and schools Award the bids to companies which offer paid directorships The politicians’ benefit It’s just the same old story The end of history now Capital is King they say, there’ll never be another way As the guilty walk scot free They use the word austerity As their narrative to wage class war. Now it’s time to start the revolution – up against the wall And put these bastards up against the wall – up against the wall Now it’s time to start the fight for justice – up against the wall And end this madness once and for all
