They Strip From The Poor

They strip from the poor like petals off of a flower 'Tis not about compassion 'tis all about power The ambiguity in their words to suspicion gives rise One thing they are good at that is telling lies The poor getting poorer they pretend to care But of how the poor have to live how would they be aware They only need them for their votes on Election Day Mere words as we know are so easy to say So many more homeless than at this time last year And so many living rough on the dark streets of fear Due to circumstance of birth their young lives in a mess They cannot get a job without a Postal Address The numbers of the poor only do multiply And the Government a fair go to them does deny.
