Round Up - Original Song

I wrote this song over the last week or so, inspired by recent riotous events in the UK. I would absolutely love it if a few other people would have a go at singing and playing it, so all the words and chords are below. I think this song might suit a rock band pretty well if any bands fancy having a go!



(G) Round up the poor (C) put them in a (G) ghetto
Give them no work and (D) call them all scum
(G) Make sure it's not safe to (C) walk on the (G) streets
Remove any (D) chance to have (G) fun

Call them all scroungers who (C) sponge off the (G) state
Give them no prospects (D) remove every hope
Ig (G) nore the drug dealer who (C) stands on each (G) corner
Provide no ass (D) istance to (G) cope

(Chorus)
You (C) can't treat people like (G) dogs
And (D) then complain when they (G) bite
You (C) can't keep people in (G) darkness
With (D) out them seeking the (G) light
You (C) can't keep doing what's (G) wrong
And (D) tell us you're doing what's (G) right
(C) You kept making things (G) worse
It's (D) you who started the (G) fight

(G) End the old boy club no (C) more secret (G) handshakes
Lib Lab and Tory are (D) bad to the core
(G) Get some fresh faces (C) keen to make (G) progress
Who know what it (D) means to be (G) poor

(G) Take the politicians to a (C) big sewage (G) farm
Doing a job they (D) perfectly fit
(G) On hands and knees (C) using a (G) bucket
Make ma (D) nure instead of talk (G) shit

(Chorus)
