Bullingdon Boys

from Fifty Five Stories Down by Matt Blick

/

lyrics

David and Boris and Gideon met
At Oxford University
Dined with a crew of the chosen few
wearing sky blue and ivory

It's a fine old tradition for young blue bloods
Trash a restaurant and pay in cash
Preparation for a host of Government posts
It's how we train the ruling class (and they sing...)

Rah Rah Rah! We're the Bullingdon Boys
Bullingdon Boys born to rule OK!
The rich run riot, the lawyers keep it quiet
Make way for the Bullingdon Boys

Bloods have their colours and so do the Crips
Like any self-respecting gang
Bullingdon threads don't come off the peg
Set your family back three grand

(Call it an investment, money well spent)

Sing Rah Rah Rah! We're the Bullingdon Boys
Bullingdon Boys born to rule OK!
The rich run riot, the lawyers keep it quiet
Make way for the Bullingdon Boys
It's the day of the Bullingdon Boys

You wouldn't put a paedophile in charge of a school
No matter how much he'd changed
Would you trust a Buller boy with the lives of the poor?
Then you've only got yourself to blame

Rah Rah Rah! We're the Bullingdon Boys
Bullingdon Boys born to rule OK!
The rich kids break it, the poor just take it
And make way for the Bullingdon Boys
Crime pays when you're a Bullingdon Boy
Buller! Buller! Buller!

Rah Rah Rah! It's the Bullingdon Boys
Bullingdon Boys born to rule OK!
The rich run riot, the lawyers keep it quiet
Make way for the Bullingdon Boys
Hip hooray for the Buller Boys

Matt Blick Nottingham, UK

Songwriter/singer from Nottingham, UK. Like early inspiration Billy Bragg, Matt sings in his real accent and plays electric guitar (there’s more tuba than acoustic guitar on his songs). He plays like someone who spent more time in mosh pits than coffee shops and sings about faith and doubt, love and loss, airports and abattoirs. ... more
