[Intro]

Bm Gb | Cb | Fb Cb | Db  [x2]

[Verse 1]
Fb
David sits in his shepherd's hut
    Gb
His casual gamble didn't make the cut
    B
The stable door was bound to shut
         Cm
When the horses bolted out
    Gm
The poison there to see
  Cm
A road of no return
         Gb                  Gb
Food for thought for all con-cerned

[Verse 2]
  Fb
A-lina used to feel the love
     Gb
This place was home with her young son
   B
Un-til the vote that pulled the plug
    Cm
The fires had been stoked
      Gm
Their welcome here revoked
  Cm
A low pay vacancy
         Gb                  Gb
Food for thought for you and me

[Chorus]
Cm
Pointing fingers spreading blame
C
Politicians with no shame
Fb
Absent parents stolen phones
G
Hidden lives and no-go zones
Gm
Pay less taxes ditch red tape
Gb
Cosy contracts for their mates
Fb
Cutting help right to the bone
Gb
Empty stomachs freezing homes
Fb
Cutting help right to the bone
Gb
Empty stomachs freezing homes

[Interlude]

Fb
Robert waits for his turn no fuss
    Gb
The wage he earns is not enough
    B
The help he gets from the Trussell Trust
         Cm
Give his family breathing space
     Gm
It's simply a disgrace
      Cm
Their needs cannot be met
         Gb                     Gb
Food for thought we're not done yet

Pay less taxes ditch red tape

Cosy contracts for their mates

Cutting help right to the bone

Empty stomachs freezing homes
Fb
Cutting help right to the bone
Cm
Pointing fingers spreading blame
Cm
Politicians with no shame
Fb
Absent parents stolen phones

Hidden lives and no-go zones
Gm
Pay less taxes ditch red tape
Gb
Cosy contracts for their mates
Fb
Cutting help right to the bone
Gb
Empty stomachs freezing homes
Fb
Cutting help right to the bone
Gb
Empty stomachs freezing homes
