''cos that ECO tax is crippling.
Too high'' they plead, ''so the plebs must bleed
though our profit level's tripling.''

Our revered PM moves to comfort them,
by a stroke of pen he'll bin it.
In their snug boardrooms when the pay-out looms
they will make damn sure he's in it.

No welcome compromise, no relief from sacrifice,
no governmental war on the squeeze.
The Brotherhood's composed with the mandate its imposed
that we pay our share of therms - or freeze!

And the tunnel will wend, it will have no end,
nor allow any flicker of hope.
It's anarchic rule from the corporate school,
with 'choice' hanging lifeless from their rope!
