They’re making up a lexicon

designed for you and me

Previously ‘unemployed’

now we’re branded ‘workless’

Poverty has been renamed

and all the blame is ours

The poor must pay for all the sins

of sons of tax-evaders

There’s a brand new lexicon

 

Workless worthless shiftless shirkers

Don’t you know it’s all your fault?

Don’t you know redundancy

should be a mark of shame?

That failing dodgy DLA tests

means that you are ‘fit for work’?

Here’s the deal, it’s new I’m told -

slavery is working fare

Welfare de-forms make it so

It’s a brand new lexicon

 

They’re absolutely clear on this

They’ll piss disinformation

into every single ear

A BBC Manipulingo

Spanking top-down Tory lingo

Coalition buzzword bingo

Sign on and shout ‘house’

Use the brand new lexicon

 

Workless worthless shiftless shirkers

used to be employed

But now we’re in a double dip

triple dip

unlucky dip

take your pick

They’re making up

a brand new lexicon
