about

This Billy Bragg style political anthem begins with a short futuristic, utopian longing discourse in favour of the Universal Basic Income.

lyrics

It’s time for, the universal basic income
It’s time for, the universal basic income
An economy made for – everyone
A perfect economy, good for everyone.

There’s no reason, why life has to be so tough
Makin’ money, why must it be so rough?
It’s all a big lie, now it’s time to say ‘enough’
All a big lie, we really have had enough

The simplest ideas are the ones they hate the most
They keep us slaving, to feed their egos

Why spend your life, doin’ what you never want to do?
Getting’ up early, commutin’ to work on the tube
The U.B.I. covers all basic needs
Don’t have to do things, for the sake of their greed

The simplest ideas are the ones they hate the most
If we all stay at home, they will soon have to go

So, come on you unions, it’s time to heed the call
Come on you Socialists, together we’ll free us all
An economy made so no-one will be poor (REPEAT)
