NOT PAYING

 

Bought a bomb shelter cheap,

cost me next to nothing at the auction.

Once in it they would never get me out,

not as long as they want to make me pay.

Fifteen years of poll tax to keep them bastards in power.

What do they know of the struggle of the common man?

Keep the wolf from the door by all and every means.

Got me 30 years of food and my own keys –

locked my own door from the inside out.

No authorities here!

PMs came and went, Thatcher, Major, Blair and…

Tried to make me pay but they failed,

Got six feet of concrete and two feet of steel

Between me and them.

If I pop out for daylight to see the sun,

Will they be there, waiting, for me to pay my poll tax?
