Lyrics:
I went to my local library to go and borrow books for free
but to my shock and my surprise the library had met its demise.
It's all a sign of the rising tide.
Meanwhile in the treasury tonight, the belt is tightened oh so tight.
The Chancellor stands proud and tall, though he must be feeling very small.
That is, if he can feel at all.
For what he doesn't want us all to know, is the lie that everything must go.
So he deals a diet of deceit, for the panicked public picnicking.
But it ain't so sweet.
'Cause he's been urinating on our shoes then blaming rain like the perfect ruse.
But we've all seen the forecast for the next 5 days and maybe more
and there's not a sign of a downpour.
So Chancellor, you're not the only one who swings his axe around for fun.
I have been known to wield my own and I am quite accident prone.
And I'm not alone. Oh no.
For now is not the time for apathy,
or disenchantment in our melody.
I cannot gloss over this message that I send,
It says: "Welcome to Austerity, my friends."
Welcome to Austerity my friends.
This is the end. This is the end.

I just heard this on Q radio sandwiched between AC DC and Nirvana.
Somehow, IT DIDN'T SOUND OUT OF PLACE.
That's how good this is.
