From Colin Hampton of Chesterfield Unite Community
Clip of Waspi (Women Against State Pension Inequality) women singing in Chesterfield New Square. Thanks to Wendy Bell, David Eccles and yours truly from Chesterfield Unite Community for the words.
When I get older, dyeing my hair
Not so long from now.
Will you still be bailing out your banking chums
Whilst we’re being treated like bums.
Making my plans when I’m a retiree
Then you slammed the door.
Will you still bleed me, corrupt and greedy
When I’m 60 n poor.
You’re gold plated too!
But now you have broken your word
We won’t vote for you.
The Tory Grandees thought it a ruse
Pension Rights are gone
Nineteen fifties women won’t be took for a ride
We’re not for turning, no place to hide.
Screwing the public, know where it leads
Damned for evermore.
Will you still bleed me, corrupt and greedy
When I’m 60 n poor.
Every woman she can send a message to the Tory right
And make it clear
We did scrimp and save.
Politicians not for me
Teresa, George and Dave.
Send me a forecast, drop me a line
Time to change your mind.
Indicate precisely what you mean to say
WASPI women, this is your day.
Give me your answer, time for reform
Or be damned for evermore.
Will you still bleed me, corrupt and greedy
When I’m 60 n poor.
