lyrics
Verse 1
The private enterprise travels in virus form
Beaurocratic blind eyes ask you to sign this form
Mind is born not through the strength of the wallet
Times are torn when education feeds a profit
Strikes are scorned so the silent storm builds
Minds are worn thin childs are forced ill diets
Health food is a scone at best
Kids fed shit for quids thanks to scholarest
PFI schemes wouldn’t be in my dreams
Neo-liberal bitter pill is a tight squeeze
And I won’t swallow no bother to Bovis
They receive their pay either way and they know this
Married to the devil Tony B and his minions
You see that he’s like Maggie when you look at all the millions
Invested in the private sector
You’re cheated on by neo-cons and hidden from the sly neglect of
Other schools that are lacking from financial backing
No business will invest ‘cos exams are slacking
It’s a spiral of failure denied by the statesmen
The poorest kids are left waiting
If you prioritise instead of privatise see they deny and divides
And education standards rise where they need to
Who must I plead to? Stop letting big business bleed you
Verse 2
Fuck bovis notice how I said it with authority
There ain’t no stopping me from dropping these
Protests to voters they owe kids apologies
Fuck their property education shouldn’t be monopoly
You know this we need to focus properly on policies
Of horrid greed a torrid prophecy is what I see
They’ll sell newborn’s souls for gold
As their regime unfolds it’s goals
Ignoring the screams from the ghosts of their foes
Who foretold this in scrolls of old
But in seriousness they got me fearing of this
I’m well scared so tell Blair not to sell shares
In our future but he don’t be hearing of it
Deceiving appearances suffering from periods of deliriousness
Steering us away from the welfare state
Well there you have it is this just the start of a continuing habit
I’m avid to bring callous havoc on their balance
My talents is for making statements blatant
So face it they lie class sizes rise
Contracted factories set school meal prices high
And rob you of the right to buy from elsewhere
So guys use your eyes it’s no surprise that
The pupils were price tagged viewed for their value in paper
Written on it the dishonest promises of new labour
Chorus
Fuck Bovis—Privatise it
Fuck Bovis—Thatcherite shit
Fuck Bovis—Tony left us all sore
Fuck Bovis—When he dropped clause 4
(x2)
Outro
New labour was voted in on the mantra education, education, education
What we really got was privatisation, privatisation, privatisation
With schools forced to compete for investment within an environment where companies like BOVIS are carving up the public sector for profit…
Fuck new Labour, Fuck Blair and FUCK BOVIS
