I wrote this back about twelve years ago and I resurrect it every now and again, or as the mood takes me. They have taxed just about everything that can be taxed and sometimes twice over but they haven't got around to bicycles yet. Well, not as I write....
The Market Dictate
 |
| Culmullen & 1798 Outside Church. |
They tell you it's great
Down in sub section four
On the set aside farms
Where they lock up
The poor.
Who'd forgotten to file
In before it's too late
Now they're serving the needs
Of the market dictate.
As the credit runs out
On your permit to walk
Outside on the pavement
Nobody talks.
The neon reminders
Read out from the wall
That the Bicycle Licence
Collector will call.
And if you've done nothing
There's nothing to hide
So trade in your name
For the numbers inside.
Yeah! Trade in your name
For the numbers inside
Put an x on the spot
Where democracy
Died.
Frank Murphy.
