Doing it for Free
A recession bites it makes long winter nights
even less tolerable than they already are
Look – I’ve been very good! Done everything I should
but years of saving hasn’t got me very far
They bail out the banks and we get no thanks
in a reckless bid to get us out of a hole
They ask for ideas confirming our worst fears
by putting millions of us on the dole
As for me, I keep schtum head down, looking glum
I’m like an iceberg there’s so little to see
No government shall take my life or my stake
I won’t bow down or do anything for free
