Anti-Tory songs for tomorrow’s March against the cuts
Ahead of tomorrow’s March for the Alternative, Student Broad Left members have come up with a couple of anti-Tory songs to sing as we move through the streets of London.
Below we share our lyrics – along with a link to the original songs to remind you of the tune. Whilst our efforts cannot compete with the inspired ‘Andrew Lansley Rap’ – nor have we made the effort to perform our songs at a UCU picket like students at SOAS – we hope you at least are impressed with our good taste in music!
Fight for your right
(Originally composed by the Beastie Boys)
Kick it
You wanna go to college, man you really wanna GO
You need your EMA but Cameron says NO
You’ll miss out on education won’t get a JOB
But Murdoch will say its because you’re a yob
You gotta fight – {clap, clap} – for your right – {clap, clap} - to education!
You plead for 30 quid but Osborne says NO WAY
Tory hypocrite spends thousands a day
Your mum says education cuts are not a JOY
Ahh mum what do you expect from the BULLING-DON BOYS!
You gotta fight – {clap, clap} – for your right – {clap, clap} - to education!
Fuck You
(Originally composed by Cee Lo Green)
I see the Tories drive this country into the ground and I’m like fuck you
You take my wage from my pocket and spend it on war
Cameron, I’m like, fuck you and fuck your Tory cuts too
The rich get richer and the wars get longer – ain’t that just shit? (ain’t that just shit)
We’ll save the NHS cos it is the best when we say fuck you… and fuck Osborne too
