Foodbank Blues

Foodbank Blues


Been down to the foodbank, gonna get myself some tins
Been down to the foodbank, life treats me like I've sinned

The place is calm, the coffee's soothing
hands are full, the twins are toothing

Work won't pay my wages
I've been skint for ages

Taking the help of a well-meaning few
who gather the food directly from you

And hear all my woes
the scars that I bear

And give me some food
with shampoo for my hair

They’ll never dessert me
they’ll never give in

To an unfair society
and MP's who sin

I can’t come too often
they’ll help me with that

Their parcels will soften
the comforts I lack

Tell one and tell all
the shame of their booming

Help me solve my problems
it’s your crisis looming

Give me help, keep them solemn
give them guidance from above

Why should I go hungry

for a lack of love?
