Give with one hand

End of the financial year 

 

The policies are out..

 

Helping the battler?

 

I have my doubts. 

 

A 4% pay rise has been approved 

 

But cost haven\'t stopped rising

 

We all still lose.

 

A $300 rebate on our electricity bill

 

I got the latest pricing schedule 

 

It\'s all uphill

 

Any rebate is frittered away

 

So nothing has changed 

 

It\'s all just a game

 

Smoke and mirrors 

 

Everyone\'s broke

 

Costing more for booze and smokes

 

Complaining don\'t bring the prices down

 

The policies aren\'t helping 

 

They treat the people like clowns. 

 

Across the pacific I heard blue boy say-

 

We gave them$10 000.00 to help them on their way!

 

Ten thousand dollars won\'t help buy a den 

 

It probably wouldn\'t pay for the ink in the pen.

 

Inflation seem out of control 

 

What will they do?

 

Crash it and burn it.

 

The economy seems screwed. 

 

On the other side of the globe

 

They are secretly stacking 

 

Silver and gold

 

Is that the solution?

 

I can\'t tell 

 

The future appears 

 

To have an ominous smell.
