Name: Grenfell
Duration: P00H03M22S
Description: This song was written as a visceral reaction to being confronted by the horrific shell of a building in which so many died in June 2017, a couple of weeks after the scenes had unfolded. A preventable tragedy and a symbol of the class war that is being waged in our country by the rich against the poor.

lyrics

Looming tower of carbon
Stark reminder of lives that were lost
They were stolen! Taken! By rich man's actions
For the poor there is no safety they cut the cost

For public services no magic money tree
For MPs and weapons the money can be found
For the rich their Ivory Towers
For the poor: Towers that burn to the ground

Burned to the ground Burned to the ground
Daughters and sons burned to ground
Mothers and fathers burned to ground
Innocent families burned to ground
To cut some corners burned to ground
To pocket the pounds burned to ground
Well maybe its time we turned it right round
The mansions and palaces should burn to the ground
Burn to the ground, burn ‘em right down
