Medicine Show

“Look, I know how you feel. I’ve been there too. That car your neighbours have? Should be yours! And don’t talk to me about rent.

“Not right, is it? And then the government give all your taxes to their big-business mates or the benefit claimants, instead of people who deserve them.

“But you and me, we believe in fairness, right? Not like them. I say it’s time we fixed this. And the best part is, you barely need to do a thing.

“You just put your X next to my name on that ballot, and we’ll make things better. Guaranteed.”

The prompt I was given for this one was ‘Fitter Happier’, but the real inspiration was the rather awesome ‘Medicine Show’, from David Ford’s Tennessee EP. You can listen to it here, and buy it here. It’s worth it for that song alone.
