8th Son Version 2.0
Jimmy Boom Semtex and other writers/poets/authors
Shit in Power
Two decades ago I read a shocking thing
Ruling elite will start a war
The reason is simple in their eyes:
Population control
Culling us all in a huge global war
The time is close
Syria is in flames and will ignite it
Nationalism is on the rise
Pride will rise like missiles
It won't stop till we're dead
While the 3rd world war rages the rats hide
Huddled together like pieces of shit
As billions is die in nuclear fire
The rats will inherit only ashes
The countdown hits 0…
Fiddled(by Rose Huy Woolket)
Years had passed
Our children had grown
Our love had passed
Our hate had grown
New had become old
Good times became tarnished
Our love had become old
Our togetherness vanished
You fiddled and loosened your golden ring
You'd forgotten our dreams, they'd faded
Our love gone like your wedding ring
Our togetherness now seemed jaded
Years of music played together
Dreams built for a bright future
Our reality, we're nothing together
Our times apart with no future
My ring I'd put aside
Our times long gone
Miss you by my side
All our children gone
You fiddled with a ring
You fiddled with my heart
Love was lost like your ring
Lost love lives deep in my heart
Years might be lost
Love goes on
Your golden ring lost
Love continues on
Blame (by Dorothy Fryman)
You can blame the Labour party
For the state the country's in
You can blame disaffected youth
Say they don’tcare a pin
You can blame asylum seekers
Who come from near and far
But it's Thatcherism’s Legacy
And we the victims are
You can blame the greedy bankers
For our economic state
With housing prices falling
At a most alarming rate
Put the blame on global warming
If you're feeling below par
But it’sThatcherism’s Legacy
And we the victims are
You can blame those wealthy pensioners
Conserving all their dough
And all those lazy fellows
Who to work don't want to go
And those discontented students
Who do nothing but protest
But it's Thatcherism's Legacy
For she thought that that was best
You can blame the railway unions
Say they haven't any brains
You can fume there on the platform
When you find there are no trains
And if the roads were better
Then we all would go by car
But it's Thatcherism's Legacy
And we the victims are
You can blame the coalition
You can blame the Tories too
You can blame the Thatcher Legacy
And what it's done to you
But the only way to solve it all
Is for people to unite
Use the Ballot Boxes power
AND EDUCATE AND FIGHT
