Broken Nation
​Verse
When 2020 came around and tore the world apart
We didn't know the pain that would enter in our hearts
And with hesitation, devastation, war on public aid
The saviours of your legislation fought the war you made
When the leaders of the land began to toss the cares away
The heroes of our broken nation carried on the flame
Without a breath or second guess they pushed themselves to fight the cause
For the dedication, admiration, you just gave them an applause
​
Our government allows themselves to to raid our pension pot
Whilst we are told to tighten belts they plunder all we've got
What the hell are people thinking blindly giving them this right
It's surely time we all stood up, it's time to stand and fight
Big business, petrochemicals, they took our choice away
There used to be democracy in the choices that we made
They increased the price of energy 'til no one could afford
Whilst making billions in the profits - our shouts and pleas ignored
​
Chorus
Well the heroes stopped it all fell down, they fought for your and me​​
They paid their price with their precious lives, while you were living free
And if we swapped it round so you laid down, we'd lose our liberty
So how about a little ground to those who died, for. you and me
​
Verse
The mortgages and rents we pay continue moving up
'Til no-one can afford to live, they just don't give a fuck
The money-making landlords and the rich entrepreneurs
Quickly buying up the housing stock to pass down to their heirs
What chance to all our children have if they can't buy a home
Whilst working all the hours God sends just to try to get a loan
And even when the bank agrees it's over 50 years
With zero chance of paying back these greedy racketeers
​
Chorus
Well the heroes stopped it all fell down, they fought for your and me​​
They paid their price with their precious lives, while you were living free
And if we swapped it round so you laid down, we'd lose our liberty
So how about a little ground to those who died, for. you and me
​
Bridge
Tell me what the hell to do, the news full of despair
We can not go on living on no more than thin air
Tell me the hell to do I can't take any more
It's time we made a stand together, and stood up for our cause
​
Chorus
Well the heroes stopped it all fell down, they fought for your and me​​
They paid their price with their precious lives, while you were living free
And if we swapped it round so you laid down, we'd lose our liberty
So how about a little ground to those who died, for. you and me
