Are we all dancing to someone else’s dodgy tune?

Running around trying to appease or please like a loon

Hoping to gain some praise or acceptance while losing our self-respect

Our self-worth is diminished in this pointless exercise what else could we expect

Hoping to be valued for who we are is unrealistic optimism over common sense

Expecting to be treated as an equal in this world of inequality is unrealistic beyond reason

Standing up for our rights and fighting for our rights gets us branded as troublemakers

Accept the status quo and be led by those with the power, no thanks I’ve had enough

Every day we hear someone telling us to do this do that next week they will have changed their mind

Buy an electric car oh dear they are too expensive for the poorer in society, they will have to walk

No more gas boilers to heat our homes more expensive electric boilers more old people will die

We need to be levelling up as they call it but no it’s a catchphrase trotted out meaninglessly

We should know you can’t get very rich unless you have very poor people to exploit

The richer in society can go green they can afford the higher bills to heat their homes

They can buy the best electric cars with the longest range put solar panels on their roof

Sadly it seems that global warming is going to speed up levelling down while the waters rise
