Thatcher Fucked the Kids

Whatever happened to childhood?
 We're all scared of the kids in our neighborhood
 They're not small, charming and harmless
 They're a violent bunch of bastard little shits
 And anyone who looks younger than me
 Makes me check for my wallet, my phone and my keys
 And I'm tired of being tired out
 Always being on the lookout for thieving gits
 We're all wondering how we ended up so scared
 We spent ten long years teaching our kids not to care
 And that there's no such thing as society anyway
 And all the rich folks act surprised
 When all sense of community dies
 But you just closed your eyes to the other side
 Of all the things that she did
 Thatcher fucked the kids
 And it seems a little bit rich to me
 The way the rich only ever talk of charity
 In times like the seventies, the broken down economy
 Meant even the upper tier was needing some help
 But as soon as things look brighter
 The grin gets wider and the grip gets tighter
 And for every teenage tracksuit mugger
 There's a guy in a suit
 Who wouldn't lift a finger for anybody else
 We're all wondering how we ended up so scared
 We spent ten long years teaching our kids not to care
 And that there's no such thing as society anyway
 And all the rich folks act surprised
 When all sense of community dies
 But you just closed your eyes to the other side
 Of all the things that she did
 Thatcher fucked the kids
 You've got a generation raised on the welfare state
 Enjoyed all the benefits and did just great
 But as soon as they were settled as the richest of the rich
 They kicked away the ladder, told the rest of us that life's a bitch
 And it's no surprise that all the fuck-ups
 Didn't show up until the kids had grown up
 But when no one ever smiles or ever helps a stranger
 Is it any fucking wonder our society's in danger of collapse?
 So all the kids are bastards
 Don't blame them, yeah, they learn by example
 Blame the folks who sold the future for the highest bid
 That's right, Thatcher fucked the kids
 So, you're sure you want me to sing this like Frank Turner?
 Ask me that question
 The same question in a, in a Wessex accent
 Alright, you really want me to sing this like Frank Turner?
 See?
 People will actually, they'll think you're Frank, we got this
