about

An old political song (circa 2008/9), that has had an extensive re-write recently to bring the content up-to-date!

lyrics

Your methods they are repulsive
Make no attempt to talk
That way you won't get caught
If you really want to win all our hearts
You gotta come in from the cold
And buy back what you sold (because)

Chorus:
We are moving, twisting, rolling
Sliding towards the edge
Whether you love it or loathe it, hate it & fear it
There's no hope left for the young today

Look at you safe on top of the ladder
Can't you drop some ropes
To help us younger folks?
You've done well from this unbalanced system
Rigged markets for your success
Had the best of the NHS (now)

Chorus
[break/solo]

With selfish inaction you betray us all
With every little delay
You bring closer the day
Is your profit so vital that you'd screw us all?
Ensure the planet to cooks
So you can balance your books? (now)

Chorus x3

about

Rohan Bristol, UK

Since my introduction to live performance as the Guitarist of The Highway Home (a contemporary folk trio) I have built up my confidence as a performer, in particular as a solo performer. This has brought my latent songwriting side out again after a number of years off - I'm loving this new musical productivity!

You can find me at various open mics around Bristol, and maybe some solo gigs soon!
