What the papers say or Don't Believe What You Read in the Papers
Bridget Walker words, F Reneau music, S. Westcott arr. 2013
Low voices only sing words in bold
1. They say that we're scroungers
They say that we shirk
We're skivers, not strivers,
But - where is the work?
Chorus: Don't believe what you read in the papers
Don't believe what they say in the press
Those horrid stories, spread by the Tories
Have landed us in this mess
2. They say the disabled
are benefit cheats:
They're faking, and making
us pay for their treats
|
Chorus
3. They say every migrant
and each refugee
is lying; denying
the danger they flee
Chorus
4. And now they are saying
that Thatcher was great;
Milk snatcher, who fractured
the fabric of state.
Chorus
5. It's high time to challenge
those insults and lies
resisting, insisting
free people, arise.
Don't believe what you read in the papers
Tell what You believe to the press
The more and more we publish our story
the sooner we'll clear the mess
yes together we'll clear the mess
