The Last Laugh

I'm a Man More Sinned Against Than Sinning

A song of mine from the Blues Academy album

Uncool

In the light of Stephen Hester's £963,000 bonus (Hester - a man in charge of a bank 82% owned by the British taxpayer -surely this makes him a civil servant?), time to dust this track, a kick against the banking industry in general, down. Written by Richard Ansell, performed by Blues Academy from the album 'the Last Laugh'. All proceeds to Cancer Research in memory of track's drummer, John Fisher who passed away from this disease. Available from Amazon Digital Downloads and iTunes. PLEASE SHARE THIS WIDELY.

Hey chartered banker, how are you today?
Are you losing all our money in a dubious way?
You rely on others' talent to give yourself a say,
Yet you've all the charisma of a cafeteria tray
Of all professions in the world, you're the one I wish would go away.

You're a dandy, love your beans at the cost of all the rest
And the bonus ball you're having is at everyone's expense.
It wouldn't be exaggeration to imply you're self-obsessed
but with your dirty filthy lucre, not many are impressed.
With your ways of raising riches, it's amazing how you've dodged arrest.

You're corrupt (you're corrupt),You're a dictator,
You're no friend (not a friend), You are a traitor
You're the lowest of the low, snobbish and élitist,
It's no surprise (no surprise) that the country feels defeatist
You're the story of the King's New Clothes rewritten for the modern age.
