    Look
    A question for the new Prime Minister
    How'd you have a heart so sinister?
    How are you so wasteful when people are dying in Somalia
    Afghanistan, Egypt, Libya?
    The irony is we have no business in Syria
    But kids are getting killed for all the business in Syria
    And then they try and tell you it's ISIS, it's ISIS
    In their attempts at killing it, how many civilians died
    So what's the difference between us and them?
    When you got drones killing kids just touching ten
    Then when a bomb goes off, every politician's lost
    Like that last strike that didn't kill a hundred men
    You ain't the same as them
    But all that fuel for the fire is what you gave to them
    And what you take from them

    All my life I know my mum's been working
    In and out of nursing, struggling, hurting
    I just find it fucked that the government is struggling
    To care for a person that cares for a person
    So where's the discussion on wages and budgets?
    How they made them redundant when I was a young'un
    The letters in our car said my mum was overdraft
    But somehow I still had dinner money in my pocket
    And even the little things like ordering pizza
    Were probably the reason for overtime in the evening
    Five till ten, six hours of sleeping
    For twenty-two years my mum was doing the cleaning
    Dreaming that her kids would have a better life
    Go in bed at night, struggling with getting by
    That's the reality for millions of people in a nation
    Where a lot of us were looking for a second try

    A question for the new Prime Minister
    And please, tell me if I'm being narrowminded
    But how do we spend so much money on defence
    And weapons to wage war when the NHS is dying?
    Bursting at the seams, and what about them people
    That voted for us to leave for the money that it would see?
    350 million we give to the EU every week
    That our health service needs
    But now them politicians got what they wanted
    Can you see an empty promise or a poster on the street?
    Nurses in tears 'cause they're working every hour of the week
    And they still don't have the money that they need
    You brought the heart of the nation to its knees
    Underpaid, understaffed, overworked
    And overseen by people who can't ever understand
    How it feels to live life like you and me

    Patients lying in the corridors
    'Cause doctors can't even find a bed for them to sleep
    I A&E and all them sickening screams
    Of a little girl waiting for a surgeon to be seen
    Privatized healthcare, guns for police
    Increased uni fees, is this what they're selling us?
    Well, let me remind you just in case you've forgotten
    That we live in Great Britain, not in Donald Trump's America
    Speaking of America, state and the President
    With all due respect, I've got something to say to them
    I just find it funny you can't give a hand to Palestine
    But you can trade whole arms with Saudi Arabia

    Look, look
    I've got a question for the new Prime Minister
    At Grenfell Tower, your response was ridiculous
    You hid like a coward behind your five million
    Dodged responsibility and acted like you're innocent
    And I can see you're terrified, you're not good at telling lies
    I'm getting why you stay away from everything that's televised
    You look like a robot and you don't speak with any life
    It feels to me like any guy in press could've said them lines
    Imagine going to the council for the safety of your block
    And you've got kids but they're ignoring you at every time
    Everyone who knew about that cladding
    Should really be going prison under rule of t enterprise
    But if it ain't a little kid with a knife
    I bet that judge is going easy when he's giving him time
    They don't deserve to be free
    Any builder, MP, that knew
    about the conditions but did it to save cheese
    When I listen to the things that the residents had seen
    I was so shocked I couldn't even speak
    Families they know that had died in their sleep
    How you choke on the smoke
    when you're struggling to breathe
    The glow from the fire
    The panic when you hear all the sirens
    The crackling, the popping and the muffled-out screams
    The fear in the eyes of a man that was trapped
    Who jumped fifteen floors from the tower to the street
    I could only hear a fraction of the pain and the grief
    Closing my eyes, trying hard not to cry
    And the joy and relief in the face of a man
    When a woman from the flat said his neighbour was alive
    No help from the council in keeping any list
    Of the people that survived, his neighbours and peers
    And for that whole meeting I could see that he was trying
    So his smile was an island in a sea full of tears

    Look, I've got a message for our old Prime Minister
    David Cameron
    I mean you fucked us, resigned
    then sneaked out the firing line
    I wanna know how you managed it
    And are you bathing in the sun while them papers have a run
    At the woman that you left here to handle it?
    You gonna teach your little lad to be the man that's got a plan
    And then the moment that it fails to abandon it?
    Are there bullies in his school?
    And when you pick him up after class
    can you feel his embarrassment?
    I mean you never gave a fuck about the youth
    and that's the truth
    There's no sympathy for you or your cabinet
    I really wish I could've seen how you were scramblin'
    When you lost the referendum that you had to win
    I feel like politicians are all addicts
    In a big fat game but it's lives that you gamble with

    I've got a question for the leader of the Labour Party
    Jeremy Corbyn, where do you wanna take the country to?
    Honestly, I wanna put my trust in you
    But you can understand why if I've got trust issues
    Do you really have the faith of your party?
    Do you really have faith in the party that will come with you?
    And how do you plan on keeping all the promises?
    Man, if I'm being honest, Sir, I'm struggling to get with it
    I just ain't getting it
    Everybody's great until you get them into office
    and then guys start forgetting things
    Prove to us you're different, don't promise me anything
    Go and get justice for Rashan Charles and Edison
    And if you haven't had the thought to vote yet
    Or protest 'cause you don't really see the progress
    I hope you know that what they're saying is affecting us
    The small steps are way better than no steps
