the belligerent drone of red-faced men
and shrill, prissy women
with vicious opinions
drown out the last gasps of a land choking on the smoke
of the last burning beacon of hope
the bacon of mope
the ham of flags
the gammon of lumps and gravy train fist pumps
the sneers get nearer til they're right up in your face and you can almost taste the resentment
we're from the school of hard knocks
we bought up all the housing stock
when it was cheap, see i'm an achiever
free market, true believer
big returns on my investment
shows i'm savvy, canny eye
university of life, mate
university of life
and if more bills get sent
i'll just increase the rent
university of life, mate
university of life
add more to my portfolio
i deserve my just rewards
