Rough Ride Lyrics
[Intro - Austerity Vocals]
It looks like we're having a rough old ride
There's no place to run there's no place to hide
[Verse 1 - Cara McHardy]
No such thing as society
Let them rustle where they may
Poor souls! Let them eat cake
[Verse 2]
Affordable housing and unobtainable dreams
There's nothing for you here
Why don't you move away
Compassion and loyalty are so yesterday's news
No one cares what you have to say
[Chorus]
My children are working all hours they can
To live in this city we love
But they can't imagine a life like I've had
Either you're rich or it's tough .
[Verse 3 - Cara McHardy]
Seagulls follow the trawler
It's because they think sardines
Will be thrown into the sea
It looks like we're having a rough old ride
There's no place to run there's no place to hide
[Verse 1 - Cara McHardy]
No such thing as society
Let them rustle where they may
Poor souls! Let them eat cake
[Verse 2]
Affordable housing and unobtainable dreams
There's nothing for you here
Why don't you move away
Compassion and loyalty are so yesterday's news
No one cares what you have to say
[Chorus]
My children are working all hours they can
To live in this city we love
But they can't imagine a life like I've had
Either you're rich or it's tough .
[Verse 3 - Cara McHardy]
Seagulls follow the trawler
It's because they think sardines
Will be thrown into the sea
[Verse 4]
There's a sucker born every
Minute it seems
Aiming high and .
Sinking low
Directing attention
Away from the trick
As every illusionist knows
[Chorus (repeated end-tag)]
My children are working all hours they can
To live in this city we love
But they can't imagine a life like I've had
Either you're rich or it's tough .
Either you're rich or it's tough .
Either you're rich or it's tough .
[Outro - Austerity Vocals]
Give us a home somewhere we're safe
Give us enough food on our plates
We want to stay near to our friends
We are the future you can defend
Austerity, austerity is that all you have to give to me?
Austerity, austerity is that all you have to give to me?
Austerity, austerity is that all you have to give to me?
Austerity, austerity is that all you have to give to me?
There's a sucker born every
Minute it seems
Aiming high and .
Sinking low
Directing attention
Away from the trick
As every illusionist knows
[Chorus (repeated end-tag)]
My children are working all hours they can
To live in this city we love
But they can't imagine a life like I've had
Either you're rich or it's tough .
Either you're rich or it's tough .
Either you're rich or it's tough .
[Outro - Austerity Vocals]
Give us a home somewhere we're safe
Give us enough food on our plates
We want to stay near to our friends
We are the future you can defend
Austerity, austerity is that all you have to give to me?
Austerity, austerity is that all you have to give to me?
Austerity, austerity is that all you have to give to me?
Austerity, austerity is that all you have to give to me?
