killdren - hands off our nhs lyrics

[intro – vomiting sounds and distorted vocals]

[verse 1]
it’s not up for grabs, not up for sale
given time we’ll all become frail
don’t make out it’s a financial drain
when big pharma backhanders is the strain
we paid for it in taxes – it’s ours to keep
stop the dismantling and selling off cheap
you can keep your trans+atlantic deal
the us model has zero appeal

[chorus]
don’t make profit from our pain
it’s a safety net and we all gain
private healthcare is unwanted stress
hands off our nhs!
society is designed to make us ill
so they can sell us drugs when we’ve been through the mill
it sounds shady to me, i must confess…
hands off our nhs!

[skit 1]
a typical rundown of charges for privately run healthcare insurance in the us:
$40 for holding your baby after giving birth
$40,000 for a hip replacement
$367,000 for surgery and a two+week stay
$153,000 for treating a rattlesnake bite
$300 a month to receive insulin
643,000 people go bankrupt each year, because of medical bills
we can’t afford to be ill with prices like this
you want this from us? you’re taking the p+ss!

[bridge]
we’re not the only country with state healthcare
it’s not communism, just playing fair
take a look at a us treatment bill
one small slip and it’s a bitter pill
why would they sell off the nhs?
let’s have ourselves a little guess
could it be based on some private interests?
what portfolios do mps possess?

[skit 2]
back in 2014, 1/5 of coalition mps had links to private healthcare firms: jeremy hunt, jacob rees+mogg, iain duncan smith, michael fallon, david cameron, william hague, andrew lansley, liam fox, david davis, and many more have shares or links to private healthcare firms + or have received payments, bungs and bribes from them!
(“in the good old days – you were poor, you got ill, and you died…”)

[verse 2 – accompanied by vomiting and coughing noises]
from botswana, kuwait, iceland to brazil
you’ll find countries that look after their ill
portugal, canada, sweden to cuba
for a similar system you don’t need to look far
don’t let the uk go the same way
as paraguay, jordan or the usa
it’s our nhs and we already pay
universal healthcare is here to stay!
