Now that was a great #bustthebudget rally!
Thanks to everyone who made it.
Les Thomas is working on mixing the studio version of "Budget Reply" now. Lots of big sounds to send the message!

Someone switch on the lights and butt out those cigars
Cos it’s like we’ve been hit and we’re still seeing stars
We all saw the train coming but the wreck’s still a shock
Instead of looking to the future here they turn back the clock
So the age of entitlement’s come to an end
Unless you’re one of their billionaire friends
Too bad if you’re sick, or too old or too young
When the age of cruelty’s just begun
What kind of future do they offer round here
When the most in need have the most to fear?
They punish the weak to reward the strong
And they’re blind to the difference ‘tween right and the wrong
Hey Joe, don’t you know?
You’re gonna hear our budget reply
My doctor took an oath to do no harm
So why do you insist they take a leg and an arm?
Truth be told, they’d rather let us bleed
An emergency indeed
