Synopsis of the song: What if a nation isn't short of money—but short of courage? Blending folk storytelling with a sing-along chorus, "We Ain't Skint" challenges the familiar story of austerity and asks whether scarcity is a political choice rather than an economic necessity.
Verse 1
They preach like we're broke at the kitchen table,
"Cut the spending, tighten belts, or we're not able."
But they're the ones who print the money, friend—
Slash the NHS while the rich dividends never end.
Chorus
We ain't skint, we ain't skint,
Money's just a tool they hold.
They print it for the bankers—
Now let's print it for the soul.
We ain't skint, we ain't skint,
Stop acting like we're done.
We're only short on courage—
Time to rise up in the sun.
Verse 2
It ain't the ledger—it's the workers, steel and time.
Empty factories while good people lose the line.
Train the nurses, build it green, and feed the young;
The only limit here's the story we've been spun.
Chorus
We ain't skint, we ain't skint,
Money's just a tool they hold.
They print it for the bankers—
Now let's print it for the soul.
We ain't skint, we ain't skint,
Stop acting like we're done.
We're only short on courage—
Time to rise up in the sun.
Bridge
They found trillions for the bailouts,
Billions for the bombs.
But schools and hospitals?
"Sorry, not the funds."
Unemployment isn't nature—
It's a political choice.
Real jobs for everyone;
Now let the people raise their voice.
Final Chorus
We ain't skint, we ain't skint,
Money's just a tool they hold.
They print it for the bankers—
Now let's print it for the soul.
We ain't skint, we ain't skint,
Stop acting like we're done.
We're only short on courage—
Time to rise up in the sun.
Outro
From the fields to the cities,
From the moors to the sea,
Full employment and real care—
That's the future I can see.
We've read the whole damn script.
Now it's time to turn the page.
We ain't skint...
Never were.
