lyrics

Brace yourself
This is going to hurt
Another bubble bursts
But this time it’s worse
Austerity is necessary
An ideological Trojan horse
A limp excuse to keep it all to yourself

Every year since
Wages stagnate
While capital grow
But those fuckers know
It’s an illusionary edifice
For a system in crisis
Don’t know what it’s like to suffer
Don’t know what it’s like being in the shit
The time has come and now it’s time to taste it
(Got to keep paying the school fees)
Vested interests, stuffing their pockets
It’s nothing more than greed
Got no idea what it means to be hungry
No idea what it means to go without
Taste your own medicine
Open your mouth

Not an ounce of empathy
For the true cost of austerity
Taste your own medicine
Open your mouth

No idea how to ‘just get by’
How it feels to go without
Taste your own medicine
Open your mouth

Taste your own medicine

No idea what hunger is
What it means to go without
Taste your own medicine
(Taste your own medicine)
Open your mouth

‘We’re in this together’
They take us for fools
Dish it out in liquid, cream and suppository form
But I’ve got more than a funny taste in my mouth
Taste your own medicine
Open your mouth

You’ve got to taste your own medicine
(Taste your own medicine)
Don’t know what it’s like being in the shit
Time to taste your own medicine
Open your mouth
(Open your mouth)
