about

A special election single, a cover of a TV Smith classic with reworked lyrics for this turbulent time! GO VOTE!

Recorded by Toxik Ephex feat. BCWC, for Black Cat Records in Aberdeen.

lyrics

I’m toiling in a sweatshop,
A prisoner of production,
A slave to universal credit,
My mind can barely function.
They scrapped our health & safety,
I'm sick from all the fumes,
Now we downsized to a smaller flat,
We're 5 to a bedroom.

I’m seeing through Boris Johnson’s lies,

This isn’t what they promised us,
Ain’t taking back control,
No millions for the NHS,
Just dug a deeper hole.
I was duped by all the tabloids
Blaming cuts on immigration,
Said the Tories had our backs,
and they would build a stronger nation.

I’m seeing through tabloid media lies,

I cast my vote in anger,
Thought “to hell with the EU”,
Hoping for a brighter future,
But now none of that’s come true.
Should have never trusted Farage,
He went to public school,
Bankers don’t care for the working class,
He’s yet another lying tool.

I’m seeing through Nigel Farage’s lies,

Seeing through referendum lies.
Seeing through neoliberal lies.
The way they lied about austerity,
It’s a self-serving twisted ideology.
