lyrics

Puritan Age

This is a Puritan age - Cruelty in vogue again
Electro shock for your autistic kids
I thought that's what Victorians did

Accuse the accuser- Abused turns abuser - It's a state of distrust

Protect the molester - Arrest the Protestor
Deep sleep of the just... a minute now

Quoting an old mate Jeff:
“Judgemental twits and hypocrites” irk him
Hates it all, not impressed
Corporate bankers deserve a good birching

Bringing back Dickensian days
Enabling profits under false pretences
Urchin, waif and stray
You're in the Workhouse by the time you are Thirteen

Til death do us party
Don't talk to me about the good old days
It's a witch hunt, but who'll end up in the duck pond
Fun Police are at it again

Protector – defender - Sadistic agenda
Believe in God if you must

Immigrants, benefit scroungers
Unemployed cripples, tory club loungers
Sip Moet while deciding our futures
Dirty shades of Orwellian grey

Let's Oliver Twist again before dehumanisation
Turn off the TV and find another way

Let's Oliver Twist again – what's the fascination
Read the Daily Mule then look the other way while we slay

Accuse the accuser- Abused turn abuser - It's a state of distrust - Protector – defender - Sadistic agenda - Believe in God if you must
