Thatcher Rap by Ricky And The Mutations Lyrics

Genre: rap | Year: 1983

[Intro]
I tell you that inflation is the biggest destroyer of all, it destroys industry, it destroys jobs, it destroys savings, and ultimately it would destroy society itself. We need to get through to everyone in this country, that inflation breeds unemployment, so that to fight unemployment, you must first fight and defeat inflation
(Hear hear, hear hear)

[Verse 1]
Politicians, actors that take my vote
Let me tell you that we have problems (I am not responsible)
Smoke your cigar, sip your cocktail
The time that you're having, it's one hеll of a whale (I am not responsible)
[?] on thе increase
Balance of payments on the rise (I am not responsible)
Property values on the increase
Buy a [?] and sell your lease

[Chorus]
(There's very little a government can do)
You tell me there's a crisis going on
(No solution wou—)
You tell me to be patient and wait
(No solution wou—)
You tell me there's a crisis going on
(The best way to help the unemployed is—
The best way to help the unemployed—)
You tell me to be patient and wait
(The best way to help the unemployed is to— create jobs, but—)
[Verse 2]
Tell me to be patient, to tighten my belt (Excellent job)
You say there's a boom just around the corner (Excellent job)
Your economic theory, micro, macro
Economic policy is stop, go, stop, go
Eating in Paris, sip your Bordeaux (Excellent job)
Go, go, and go [?] (Excellent job)
You dine so fine, your so-divine
Frog legs and escargot

[Chorus]
You tell me there's a crisis going on (There are no nuances)
You tell me to be patient and wait (There are no nuances)
You tell me there's a crisis going on (No solution wi—)
You tell me to be patient and wait (No solution wi—)

[Outro]
They are working hard to find a solution
They are working hard to find a solution
The best way to help the unemployed is—
The best way to help the unemployed—
The best way to help the unemployed is to ke— create jobs
This evening I hope to have an audience with Her Majesty the Queen
This evening I hope to have an audience with Her Majesty the Queen (Hear, hear)
