Food banks spring open Like jaws dropping in time The weight of man is measured By the depths of a carrier bag Im frozen for ages The same faces the same scars Its a shame all our sages Are rotten to the middle Someone better tell me when the lights go out So I know where I should hide Someone better offer me their salient thoughts On a welfare state denied Someone better smother me in disregard So Ill make it through the night And theres so many people That feel the same as I do So dont listen to your heart Listen to your soul Listen to your common senses Ive been battered like a storm Been run into a wall Been vaulted like a row of fences Dont be surprised When those wide eyes Drill a hole into the present tenses You should cherish even more The things that make us raw Stay loyal to the consequences And There Are So Many People That Feel Let Down Like I Do
