I'll write this in Sterling - it's easier

Aint got no toothbrush
Got petrol in car
Can't go too far
Can't leave the country
Can't drive too far

Travelling light, travelling light

On the dole petrol in the tank
Takes 2/3rds my money
Ghetto is my flank

Travelling light, travelling light

Money for two forget the house
Council tax 40% the Government the louse

Travelling light, travelling light

Got not outsourcing just got the debt
Telling it’s cheaper
On my self-respect

Travelling light, travelling light

All that outsourcing
Can they find the end
Because when no-one here earns

All the outsourcing earns
At it’s end

Politican’s light, travelling light

Somewhere else

On a College Tour

Thanks Midnight

I am starting to understand why people dont want their lives outsourced so that they have nothing to buy the cheap goods with, and no state income since there arn't any more taxes as no-one works anymore.

Yep, Dave it takes a lot and then it's never easy.
Makes ya want to run away from it all....But it's kinda like being on a treadmill.

Good write!

Perhaps we can import some Canadian Lumber

Cheers
