Freedom

"Freedom" is a song by LorD and Master that examined how the political system and government style in the UK seems to be sliding into a class war and Victorian values.

Lyrics

Freedom comes too easily
That’s what they say
They want you to work for it
All day and every day

A slice of Victoriana
Seems to be a must
Do your duty, work for ever
It’s the workhouse or bust

They’re so out of such
With their inheritance and land
But they run the country
And we know where we stand

Demonise the working classes
But our time will come
It’s time to stand with those who see it
These straight, rich white men are scum

If you think I’m being precious
And don’t agree with this song
If you think an oligarchy
Is healthy, then you’re wrong

But if you see that we’re not floating
In the same rotting boat
Exercise your only freedom
And vote

Of course they want you to think
It’s not their fault, you see
But we can track and trace
Each failure to their party

If you think I’m being precious
And don’t agree with this song
If you think an oligarchy
Is healthy, then you’re wrong

But if you see that we’re not floating
In the same rotting boat
Exercise your only freedom
And vote

Windrush 
Grenfell
Free school meals
Covid 
19
Dodgy deals
NHS
PPE
Blocking
The Russian
Inquiry

If you think I’m being precious
And don’t agree with this song
If you think an oligarchy
Is healthy, then you’re wrong

But if you see that we’re not floating
In the same rotting boat
Exercise your only freedom
And vote
