letra de downmarket - david ford
i stacked my cards against salvation
put my life in dirty hands
burned my clothes and jumped the border
into some broken promised land
this whole world’s a compet-tion
and we’re all fighting to the end
with not a soul above suspicion
of my position to defend
these are the spoils of evolution
this is the wisdom that prevailed
this is the history we’ve chosen
tried and tested, broke and failed
but unrelenting of momentum
the mercenaries marching on
so what if it didn’t work in practice
we’ve got a theory holding strong
this little piggy went to market
screamed the injustice cannot be
so give me death or give me freedom
but don’t you put no chains on me
go tell the jailer to break these shackles
tell the watchman turn your back
stoke the fires on the money train
and watch her jump the tracks
cut a swathe across the city
carving out some great divide
until the only aspiration will be
to reach the other side
and what you leave can slowly wither
and those you leave can go to h-ll
those fools should all be dreaming bigger
throwing their pennies to the well
well i say a plague on all your houses
sell a generation cheap
just to put 9 figures in your pocket
and say ‘what’s mine is mine to keep’
stash it away in some secret island
far from the prying eyes and ears
and the bony fingers of the taxman
and all his marxist scrutineers
come on throw the money up the ladder
and tear the heart out of the town
do everything you can to block up the pipe
so that nothing trickles down
and when the house is left in ruins
swear to god it’s structurally sound
oh yes we’re all in this together
but some are further from the ground
