Maggie Thatcher’s Dream

Lyrics
I could forgive you if you thought You've been sold short I'm a bad investment Of the RBS sort Working around the clock To try and raise my stock Do you regret getting in my boat When we're trying to stay afloat And I've the buoyancy of a Northern Rock? When I looked at the big picture Saw the rich getting richer When I tried to play the long game I was on the losing team Can I be so middle cla** And still end up on my a**? Is this an economic nightmare or just Maggie Thatcher's Dream? There's not enough money in the bank Not enough petrol in the tank When this month's overdraft fees are gonna bring me to my knees I've got the city boys' bonuses to thank Another charge to the list Another direct debit missed When the latest petrol prices Fuel my private credit crisis Oh I know this ain't no way to exist But when I looked at the big picture Saw the rich getting richer When I tried to play the long game I was on the losing team Does my whole life just amount To what's in my bank account? Is this my credit rating nightmare or just A Capitalist's dream? When Greed and Ambition went and formed a coalition No such thing as Big Society And no one on my team When there's no one left to vote for Are we all in the same boat or Is that just a crazy optimist singing Socialism's dream? And I know you'd live with me, my darling In a cardboard box But I'd rather build you a castle With doors and locks Something to own Something to call our home Foundations made of stone And I almost had it you know But when I looked at the big picture Saw the rich getting richer When I tried to play the long game I was on the losing team Can I be so middle cla** When I can't afford the gas? Is this my economic nightmare or just Maggie Thatcher's Dream?
