I cannot watch the news The headlines They get me down Every where you look Every reason to frown Who will they choose? Johnson or hunt Does it matter? They are both **nts Begging on the street Queuing at food banks to eat Blaming each other For our poverty and despair Going around in circles fucking going no where Never positive No! That don’t sell news Is it any wonder people turn to use Reach for the bottle or the syringe To block it all out To take away the cringe I’m sick of listening to nobodies Arguing about who’s to blame No government in my lifetime Will be able to tame societies shame I’m sick of the negative It could get me down But I won’t be drawn in When there’s so much positive around I might not have a say But I can make a difference In my own way To the guy on the street The ones who got nowt to eat We can make a difference We can stop have a word We can listen We can let them be heard Change is inevitable Just go with the flow There’s still much to do We can all make a difference But it starts with YOU Before you can help others You must take care of yourself Look out for the good Let go of the bad Trust me, holding onto it will just make you sad Be kind Don’t be cruel Does it matter who rules Look after loved ones and those that count Our work is not done yet Theres still too much to do I can live with myself The question is “Can you?”
