    Here's To The State Of Tory Britain: A Homage To Phil Ochs

    February 14, 2018

    Inspired by Phil Ochs, and more recently the excellent @PardonUsBand, the Prole Star has a new set of lyrics for the legendary 'Here's to the State of Mississippi - entitled 'Here's to the State of Tory Britain'. But here's the thing - we can't sing - anyone who wants to, please feel free.

     

    HERE’S TO THE STATE OF TORY BRITAIN
     

    Here’s to the state of Tory Britain
    Where society is governed by the greedy not the wise
    And they ask us to believe their daily litany of lies
    To keep grasping Tory fingers in their greedy Tory pies

    CHORUS: Here’s to the land you’ve torn out the heart of
    Tory Britain find yourself another country to be part of

    And here’s to the government of Tory Britain
    A Cabinet of jokers picked for safety not for skill
    Propped up by Orange bigots who only cost £1 bill
    Sailing blindly into ruin ‘to enact the people’s will’

    CH

    And here’s to the hospitals of Tory Britain
    Where undervalued doctors have to work in corridors
    Where the the sick are relegated to the carparks and the floors
    Delivered by the Tories into carpetbaggers’ claws

    CH

    And here’s to the schools of Tory Britain
    Where hardworking teachers are labelled biased and uncouth
    The government says they’re funded but they don’t tell the truth
    Where Tory cutbacks gamble with the future of our youth

    CH

    So here’s to the state of Tory Britain
    Where seven years austerity has ground the country down
    Where the Foreign Secretary is a foolish bumbling clown
    Where foodbanks are appearing every day in every town

    CH

    But here’s to the state of Tory Britain
    Where a little hope for better times is finally in view
    A future Labour government that actually works for you
    To build a fairer Britain for the many not the few
