lyrics

I always knew that you were no good,
You're like a backwards Robin Hood,
You steal from the poor, and give to the rich,
Your very existence makes me sick.

Every promise you ever made,
Transpired as untrue,
I would sooner die,
Than ever be anything like you.

You speak of love, in you your faith,
But all you do, is controlled by hate,
You speak of love, in you your faith,
But all you do, is controlled by hate.

You tread on the weak,
Lead the sick to death,
You'll bleed us dry,
Until there's nothing left.

Your life of privilege leaves,
Reality askew,
I would sooner die,
Than ever be anything like you.

You speak of love, in you your faith,
But all you do, is controlled by hate,
You speak of love, in you your faith,
But all you do, is controlled by hate.

You crack the whip on backs already scarred,
Making things worse for those finding it hard,
The poor are a sponge you continue to squeeze,
The peasants you kick whilst on their knees.

You are evil packaged with a billboard smile,
Real issues unveil you insistent denial,
You are no saviour, there's blood on your hands,
Of those in the east, and those in your lands.

I would sooner die than be anything like you,
I would sooner die than be anything like you.
