lyrics

The Tory boys are back in town
They smell your blood like baying hounds
Licking their chops for another bonus round
Stealing the family silver and melting it down

And the lonely hide in silent shells while reality grinds on
But we still have war and shopping

Well, war and shopping, war and shopping, war and shopping
War and shopping, war and shopping, war and shopping
War and shopping, war and shopping
We'll bind ourselves together with war and shopping

You're not a cripple, you're a scrounger
Go get yourself a job
You're just another of the millions-strong
Feckless work-shy mob
The hospitals are slashing jobs
So just make sure you stay well
And the fat cats are busy doing their laundry
While you pick up the bill

Well, war and shopping, war and shopping, war and shopping
War and shopping, war and shopping, war and shopping
War and shopping, war and shopping
We'll bind ourselves together with war and shopping

Whoa
War and shopping, war and shopping, war and shopping
War and shopping, war and shopping, war and shopping
War and shopping, war and shopping
We'll bind ourselves together with war and -
War and shopping, war and shopping, war and shopping
War and shopping, war and shopping, war and shopping
War and shopping, war and shopping
We'll bind ourselves together with war and shopping
