Lyrics Jimmy Somerville

Jimmy Somerville

Breadline Britain

This is Breadline Britain

This free and promised land

Where the rich don't give a damn

People getting hungry and people

Getting poor

People getting destitute and more

This is Breadline Britain

Oh you've got to understand

Where evil's in command

Where money buys only pipedreams

And a worker's life is damned

Democracy and freedom are a

Far off foreign land

Where the sick don't stand a chance

Where fascism leads a new dance

Where they'd privatise your mother

If given half a chance

This is Breadline Britain

You've got to make a stand

Breadline, breadline, breadline Britain

Breadline, breadline, breadline Britain

This free and promised land
