I Wish The Guardian Believed That I Exist

Oh there's no such thing as a protest singer
We don’t have none of those
No there's no such thing as a protest singer
We lost them when the mines all closed

Well, I know you like to think that no one does it like you did
In 1989 the needle just got stuck
But just because the system's changed it doesn't mean you've got
The monopoly on giving a fuck

'Cause we're all unemployed
That housing market you've enjoyed
Is suspended by the renting of the youth
Well we've had our wages squeezed
Fifty grand tuition fees
But let me let you in on the unspoken truth:

That there's no such thing as a protest singer, no it's a made-up thing
There's no such thing as a protest singer
'Cause there's politics in everything we sing
