1st Verse:

While the rich man relaxes,
the poor man pays his taxes;
the evil Tory axe is
swinging down upon his head.

2nd Verse:

While the rich man gets richer,
the poor man just gets stitched up.
Just like a sacrificial
Lamb, to the slaughter he’s lead.

Chorus:

It’s time to rise up
and tear this country back.
It’s time to wise up
‘cause were all under attack.
It’s time to rise up
and defend the common man.
Open your eyes up
to the evil Tory plan.

3rd Verse:

Tories bend to the bankers
and the men with oil tankers.
It’s their greed that spreads the cankers
of war and poverty.

4th Verse:

Those evil Tory bastards
just want to drag us backwards
to the time of slaves and masters.
Well a slave, I’ll never be.

Chorus:

It’s time to rise up
and tear this country back.
It’s time to wise up
‘cause were all under attack.
It’s time to rise up
and defend the common man.
Open your eyes up
to the evil Tory plan.

I worked for a local Welfare Rights Group before it folded due to the absence of funding from NCC or our local authority. I'm saddened that the work of our working class ancestors has been smashed and that the poor/disabled/elderly have to fight when there is no fight left in them. I grew up in poverty and so still recall how it feels to be part of the under-class an excluded. Whilst man turns on man then nothing will change but I am furious with the world I now see.
