New Labour’s on parade

\nThey promised us a referendum
\nNow they’ve made a bold addendum
\nWe once had rights but now they’ll end’em
\nNew Labour’s on parade<\/p>\n
They want to build a database
\nSo they can track you any place
\nYour DNA will solve the case
\nNew Labour’s on parade<\/p>\n
Though Gordon Brown was not elected
\nHe surely was the one selected
\nHis fortunes may get resurrected
\nNew Labour’s on parade<\/p>\n
You car will slow down if it’s speeding
\nYou’ll pay them twice if roads you’re needing
\nAll ancient rights need superceding
\nNew Labour’s on parade<\/p>\n
Can’t pass a law with English voting
\nDon’t worry Scots MPs are doting
\nThey rubber stamp what Brown’s promoting
\nNew Labour’s on parade<\/p>\n
They borrowed when the times were good
\nInstead of saving as they should
\nThey’ll borrow more they’re Robin Hood
\nNew Labour’s on parade<\/p>\n
They made the mess so they can fix it
\nWho else is there with chance to mix it
\nEach button Gordon finds he clicks it
\nNew Labour’s on parade<\/p>\n
Another year and digging deeper
\nThe market slumps are getting steeper
\nBut Gordon’s sure that he’s a keeper
\nNew Labour’s on parade<\/p>\n
Their banking friends all made a mint
\nWith crazy schemes rushed into print
\nAnd now the rest of us are skint
\nNew Labour’s on parade<\/p>\n
With Woolies bust the High Street’s reeling
\nThe other shops are not appealing
\nBut Gordon Brown has got a feeling
\nNew Labour’s on parade<\/p>\n
Don’t worry that they’ll get it wrong
\nThey’ve done the same things all along
\nJust told the world that they were strong
\nNew Labour’s on parade<\/p>\n
They sexed up dossiers left and right
\nAnd told the World it’s right to fight
\nEquipped the Army, well, not quite
\nNew Labour’s on parade<\/p>\n
New rates of tax to help the poor
\nAbolish them to help them more
\nThen panic when you read the score!
\nNew Labour’s on parade<\/p>\n
It’s all the same each verse repeating
\nBut still their term will need completing
\nRoll on the hour of their defeating
\nNew Labour’s doom is laid<\/p>\n
