RATBAG! ( Anti-Bedroom Tax Song)

Dedicated to Willie Black and his colleagues from the North Edinburgh Fights Back Action Group who ambushed Iain Duncan Smith's PR offensive in Scotland on 27th March 2013, LYRICS BELOW.

Ma first name is Willie, ma second is Black
The folks in ma scheme we are under attack
we used to be broke, noo we're worse than that
Noo we've a' had enough and it's time to fight back

A Tory came up tae a city hotel
Tae tell all his palls his propsals were swell
I booked me a room and I stayed for the night
And kept ma heid doon till he came into sight.

The chair o the meet, said hello Duncan-Smith
Some wumin fae Morningside, blew him a Kiss
I rose tae ma feet and some started to hiss
As I spelt out the truth, these words flew from my lips

You're a Ratbag, you're a Ratbag, from doon London way
You're a Ratbag you're a Ratbag on millionaires pay
You're a Ratbag who'll try take our hooses away
You're a Ratbag, and a Ratbag, forever you'll stay

You came for the sick and robbed their ESA
Stole vital tax credits, from folks on low pay
Noo your daft Bedroom Tax takes oor hooses away
So to you and your kind, i have one thing to say

Chorus

When people frae Pilton and throughout the land
Rise up side by side, and united we stand
Today willnae seem such a hullabaloo
cause were gonna be back, and see the end of you

Chorus x 2
