Verse
Am
A shadow of country ripped
beneath the people’s feet
G
an economy in tatters
E
helped along by your deceit
Am
the blaming games aplenty
and you point your grubby hand
G
the fooling of the honest folk
E
but they all understand
Am
We can hear the screaming
of many honest men
G
banks are breathing down our necks
E
oh will it ever end
Am
we can hear the screaming
of many honest men

You’ve millions of lives in your hands

we’re sick of your bull, it’s degrading

overdue that you go

how the hell can you sleep

you took all our spirit away

overdue that you go, overdue that you go
