[Verse 1] Said they'd fix the NHS but waiting lists climb, Promised cheaper energy, we pay more each time, Immigration should be handled with control, Small boats keep arriving, the same old story told. [Verse 2] Winter fuel payments cut, pensioners freeze alone, Private schools taxed heavy, state ones got none, Houses were promised to be 1 million strong, Working people wait while nothing gets done. [Chorus] Promises in red, painted over blue, Different coloured rosettes, same old crew, Said they'd bring the change we need, Every week we read their sleaze, Promises in red, nothing ever new, They're all playing us for fools. [Verse 3] Rachel's twenty-two billion pound black hole, Raised employer taxes, workers pay the toll, Farmers hit with inheritance tax pain, Small businesses shutting down again. [Verse 4] Trains nationalised but fares keep rising high, Public sector pay deals make inflation fly, Green energy investment sounds so great, Wind farms everywhere but bills inflate. [Chorus] Promises in red, painted over blue, Different coloured rosettes, same old crew, Said they'd bring the change we need, Every week we read their sleaze, Promises in red, nothing ever new, They're all playing us for fools. [Verse 5] Starmer backed Rayner through investigation's start, Ethics report found she'd broken code apart, Underpaid her stamp duty, forty grand in all, September resignation, ministerial fall. [Verse 6] Gifts from donors, clothes and specs for free, Arsenal boxes while we struggle to eat, Lord Alli scandal with donations flowing, Transparency promised but nothing's showing. [Chorus] Promises in red, painted over blue, Different coloured rosettes, same old crew, Said they'd bring the change we need, Every week we read their sleaze, Promises in red, nothing ever new, They're all playing us for fools. [Verse 7] Net zero targets without funding clear, Working people paying more each year, Two-child benefit cap is still in place, While they claim expenses with a straight face. [Final Chorus] Promises in red, painted over blue, Same old politicians playing me and you, Said they'd bring the change we need, Every week we read their sleaze, Promises in red, we fell for it too, Promises in red, nothing ever new, They're all playing us for fools. [Outro] Five more years of the political show, When questions get tough, off to somewhere he'll go, Jet-setting abroad when the pressure's on, By the time he's back, the scandal's gone, Red or blue, they're all the same, Just pawns in their political game.
