lyrics

Poverty Point

Let's take it back to 1913
When the times were tough and the seas were clean,
And William Greville bought some land
From the trees down to the sand.
Now everybody's starving,
And the families' weights are halving
And depressed since the war.
So they laid down slabs of cold concrete
To make a stone cold, concrete beach
To give jobs and purpose to the poor!

So shit oh dear, have the tables turned
From what was so dear,
Now is effortlessly earned,
By the rich bitch sitting on top of her throne -
Encrusted with the tears of her ancestors; disowned,
What a time, what a place to live,
We've not a dime to spare,
And not a shit to give,
They couldn't care less, lost all dignity and respect,
God they've fucked this joint,
Down in Poverty Point.

I've seen more intelligent life forms on their backs in the bottom of ponds,
If it weren't for Mummy's monthly cheques
You wouldn't be far from.
Let's see you build your life from scratch
Like Willie built the bay,
If only he could see the East now, he'd be thrashing in his grave.
