Tory Scum

When students marched a cry went up
From Horse Guards to Millbank
The papers patronised our anger
Called us a throwback
But when we chanted “tory scum”
Our rage was well-informed
We knew their game, greedy intent
An ideological war

Out out tory scum
Out out tory scum
Out out tory scum
Tory scum, tory scum

Out out tory scum
Out out tory scum
Out out tory scum
Tory scum, tory scum

Privatising education
Selling hospitals
Destroying jobs, and benefits
For those who need them most

Out out tory scum
Out out tory scum
Out out tory scum
Tory scum, tory scum

Don’t hate disabled, immigrants
But pin the blame on your true foe
Your enemy are tory scum
And yellow-bellied sycophants

Out out tory scum
Out out tory scum
Out out tory scum
Tory scum, tory scum

Out out tory scum
Out out tory scum
Out out tory scum
Tory scum, tory scum

Out out tory scum
Out out tory scum
Out out tory scum
Tory scum, tory scum
