GUEST,Bill Prince Lyr Add: Rigs of the Time - new verses (7) Rigs Of The Time 26 May 09


Three new verses if anyone wants to sing them - I wrote them in March and first sang them at the Great Knight FC in Northampton that month.
^^
Here's to those City Bankers I must bring them in
With their seven-figure salaries, they think it no sin
They've caused this recession, and it's going to get worse
But their pensions and bonuses have to come first

Honesty's all out of fashion
These are the rigs of the time, time, me boys
These are the rigs of the time

Now here's to the gangmasters I must bring them in
Importing skilled labour they think it no sin
Paying chippies and bricklayers minimum wage
No wonder our tradesmen get all in a rage

Here's to those politicians I must bring them in
Charge two homes on expenses and think it no sin
But we must understand they've such difficult lives
That they're forced to give jobs to their husbands and wives

Beware you don't sing "brickies and chiplayers"

...and a credit would be nice - somebody out there may remember me.
