lyrics

I DIDN’T LIKE YOU THEN

You live in little England
In your army fancy dress
Where you fight against equality
And against the welfare state
Like you fought against Mandela
And against the NHS
Like you fought to cut our services
But not Clause 28
And with every battle that you win
You bray and cheer aloud
I don’t know why not caring
Should make you feel so proud

When I was young
I wanted so much more
Than the misery you sow
In this furrow that you plough
They say we change with age
But me I’m not so sure
Coz I didn’t like you then
And I still don’t like you now
No I didn’t like you then
And I still don’t like you now

Children live in poverty
And you don’t give a damn
Pensioners can freeze or starve
And you don’t give a damn
Disabled people dying
And you don’t give a damn
But when they stop you hunting
Straight away you piss your pants
Then it’s all down to Westminster
Every huntsman and his wife
You stand up more for your bit of fun
Than you do for human life

When I was young
I wanted so much more
Than the indifference that you sow
In this furrow that you plough
They say we change with age
But me I’m not so sure
Coz I didn’t like you then
And I still don’t like you now
No I didn’t like you then
And I still don’t like you now

You listen to our music
And you babble at our art
And you love a little trip
Into Bohemia
But we’re the people you despise
You think us lazy from the start
Then you feast upon our work
Like the scavengers you are
We are nothing more to you
Than dancing monkey boys
Whenever you get bored
You come play with your toys

When I was young
I wanted so much more
Than the ignorance you sow
In this furrow that you plough
They say we change with age
But me I’m not so sure
Coz I didn’t like you then
And I still don’t like you now
No I didn’t like you then
And I still don’t like you now

So you clapped for the nurses
Now you think you’ve done your bit
It was safer to join in
Than it was just to admit
That you’d always voted Tory
And you’re a steaming hypocrite
I don’t know if you’re selfish
Or if you’re just thick as shit
So why not clap for food banks
And for the homeless too?
No point in paying tax
Your applause will see them through

When I was young
I wanted so much more
Than the selfishness you sow
In this furrow that you plough
They say we change with age
But me I’m not so sure
Coz I didn’t like you then
And I still don’t like you now
No I didn’t like you then
And I still don’t like you now
