The carrot of a free interest rate
Is what the banks use as their bait
And offers of mortgage schemes
Six times your salary
For the house of your dreams
Booking you into a future of debt
Hooking you inside
The negative equity net
*
A monthly fix to feed
The banks' addiction to greed
And forever craving more
The interest rate forever soars
Shooting and jacking up
You are now in their claws !
Their borrowing clause
*
Enslaved in slave wage slavery
Anxiety and sleepless nights
Drain the life-force out of you
Or worse,
Robbed of your job because
Of the credit crunch curse
*
There is nothing you can do
You cannot fight or take them on
For they are stubborn and too strong
And will NOT negotiate with you
For they don't have to -
- they are never wrong !
Just read the small print
Small and long
*
And if you do not pay
And on the right day
They will penalize you
With a penalty pay
Or post blood red letters
Boasting threats and more
*
While bullying bailiffs
Come a-banging on your door
To take your furniture, your bed
And the auction hammer
Bangs down
For the roof over your head
*
