The Government’s Friends Lyrics by Mitch Benn

2021

[Spoken Word Intro]
Hello Kids!
Well, what a year it's been , eh?
But remember:
When things get bad
Always try to look on the bright side!
[Song]
Twelve months of waiting alone in our rooms
Attending the funerals of loved ones on zoom
A year feeling lonely or bored or just sad
But for some of us it hasn’t been so bad!
Lots of the goverment's friends are very rich
They've all got very rich
They’re really very rich
Lots of the goverment's friends are very rich
Thеy're much much richer than beforе
A year has gone by and we're stuck indoors still
While our great leader's fingers are stuck in the till
So we burried our dead and we swallowed our pain
But atleast we know it hasn't been in vain
'Cos
Lots of the goverment's friends are very rich
They’ve all got really rich
Quite staggeringly rich
Lots of the goverment’s friends are very rich
They're much much richer than before
Now your grannies and your grandads have been dying every day
But the VIPs are cashing in so that’s okay!
(Sing it with me kids!)
Lots of the goverment's friends are very rich
They've all got very rich
Extraordinarily rich
Lots of the goverment's friends are very rich
They’re much much richer than before
(And they were rich already!)
Much much richer than before
