lyrics

House of Cards
You wanted power – but at what cost?
You sold your soul – but it’s our loss
You traded your values – but to what ends?
For the company – of demonic friends

Has anybody ever sold themselves so cheap?
Political prostitution – how can you justify your actions?
Five generations’ progress halted in its tracks
Dismantle everything – austerity demands a brutalised nation

You’ve really sold us down the line – you’ve been lying all this time
You’ve destroyed so many lives – you’ve been lying all this time
Can you look us in the eyes? – you’ve been lying all this time
You’re just the Tories in disguise

You came to save – to moderate
But you’ve torn down – our Welfare State
Protect the rich – crucify the poor
Lay all the blame – at the immigrant’s door

So now there’s children crying everyday at school
Too hungry to learn – you’ve condemned them to a life of poverty, and
Despise the weak and the disabled and the lame
Bring back the workhouse ‘cause – austerity demands a brutalised nation

So where do you go from here?
Pariahs without principles
A plague upon your house
For supporting this catastrophe, this twisted ideology

Slow Faction image

Slow Faction London, UK

“Slow Faction is a 1st generation-influenced punk band with a real London 77 sound. The aim of Slow Faction is simple – to make the music they want to hear; politically-charged songs with big hooks and choruses, reminiscent of the 1st wave of British punk. Slow Faction’s live sound has been described as a cross between The Clash and The Buzzcocks.” ... more
