lyrics
When a man crashed the gravy train
We were told he was not to blame,
We were told we were in this together,
And they said that it would be hard,
We might struggle, we might starve
We were told we must all "do it better."
Is this the greatest lie they sold us all this time?
The perfect way to keep us down,
And still we hear them call as they force us to the ground,
"Do it better, do it better, do it better."
Now rich men born to luxury,
Drive the rest into penury,
And they tell us it's all "getting better."
Working our fingers to the bone,
Just to pay for your second home,
And you tell us we still "could do better."
Is this greatest lie...etc
You can try to assess your worth,
But by virtue of their birth,
There are always a few, who'll be better.
Do not question the how or why,
Do not question how hard you try,
You'll be told that they are simply better.
Is this the greatest lie they sold us all this time?
Still not a penny trickles down,
And still they crack that whip as they force us to the ground,
"Do it better, do it better, do it better."
We were told he was not to blame,
We were told we were in this together,
And they said that it would be hard,
We might struggle, we might starve
We were told we must all "do it better."
Is this the greatest lie they sold us all this time?
The perfect way to keep us down,
And still we hear them call as they force us to the ground,
"Do it better, do it better, do it better."
Now rich men born to luxury,
Drive the rest into penury,
And they tell us it's all "getting better."
Working our fingers to the bone,
Just to pay for your second home,
And you tell us we still "could do better."
Is this greatest lie...etc
You can try to assess your worth,
But by virtue of their birth,
There are always a few, who'll be better.
Do not question the how or why,
Do not question how hard you try,
You'll be told that they are simply better.
Is this the greatest lie they sold us all this time?
Still not a penny trickles down,
And still they crack that whip as they force us to the ground,
"Do it better, do it better, do it better."

Cherry White recommends:
-
Sweet Sister Starlight
by Fit and the ConniptionsA wonderfully dark and whimsical bluesy-folky-rock songwriter. Start with "Sweet Sister Starlight" and proceed from there. The webcomic's pretty good as well.
