The UK housing crisis has been long in the making but needs fixing NOW.
lyrics
A 30-year-old electoral bribe
Is still hurting today
Back then a few got to win but since so
Many have been left to pay
And the voices of moral outrage have all cried
And questioned why nothing ‘s changed well
They say they tried
but the problem’s
Too big and too old,
And too complex we’re told,
It’s their fault and not ours,
We’re stuck with no powers.
Easy to say that we all deserve our own space
But it looks like they’re keeping you in your place.
They were told what you get you bank
The councils towed the line
So building stopped and it‘s stalled since
Landlords are doing fine
And the voices of the young are left hung out to dry
Are prompting so many pledges
But still they cry,
that the problem’s
Too big and too old,
And too complex we’re told,
It’s their fault and not ours,
We’re stuck with no powers.
Easy to say that we all deserve our own space
But it looks like they’re keeping you in your place
Easy to say that we all deserve our own space
But it looks like they’re keeping you in your place
A hundred years ago - rent control and mortgages for all
And yet after 30 years we‘re still,
Lacking nothing but will.
