The Employers Blacklist
Unveiling the Employers' Shadow
Lyrics
Job chances seem very thin
Job opportunities are scarce.
It's a losing battle we must all win
Facing a difficult struggle that everyone must overcome.
The C.B.I. are winning keep down the pay
The Confederation of British Industry (C.B.I.) is succeeding in suppressing wages.
Mysterious people calling early in the day
Unknown individuals make unsettling calls early in the day.
The "x" has appeared another lost life
The letter "x" symbolizes another life lost without much sympathy.
No tears are shed for the children and wife
No compassion is shown for the families left behind.
The dailys ignore it or treat it with fact
Mainstream media either ignores the issue or distorts it as fact.
Still when have they been know to report fact
Expressing skepticism about the media's history of reporting actual facts.
[Chorus:]
[Chorus]
In our country so fair and free
Ironically referring to the country as fair and free according to those controlling the economy.
So say the holders of the economy
Holders of the economy claim a free and fair country.
There is a monster said not to exist
There is an unseen problem acknowledged by those in power.
They call it the employers blacklist
The problem is identified as the employers' blacklist.
Nobody really knows what's going on
A general lack of awareness about the ongoing situation.
Be a rebel and you'll always be wrong
Being rebellious is consistently viewed as wrong.
Same old side of the story told to the screen
The media portrays a one-sided narrative to the public.
The government is too wise to be tricked
Suggesting the government is too clever to be deceived.
Anyone too clever has got to be nicked
Implying that anyone exceptionally clever is likely to face legal consequences.
You listen to this and you think I'm sick
The speaker anticipates criticism for expressing these views.
Well if you think that mug, you must be think
Challenging those who disagree, suggesting they might be naive.
