Nanny State by Rathbone

I never want to be subjected to the market discipline
I will the government to keep me well fed
My heart is blood red
It's beating for you, it's beating for you

Less is never more and more is never enough
Market share go up and so does the profit

They hang around my door
I thought I paid them off
Scrub it from the press
Shut their mouths
Turn the cameras off

Repeat the mantra of a spirited new age
It's what we all do, it's what we all say
We like the tariffs and the protections
Run to the nanny state
She's our reflection

Less is never more and more is never enough
Commanded by the board, it's written in the laws

They hang around my door
I thought I paid them off, oh
Leak it to the press
Shut the lights
Turn the cameras off

Without the rules and the regulations
This is virtue, this is freedom
This care for others kind of society
It's an infringement on our liberty

Give our love to the poorer ones who we leave behind
Good thing all the power only goes to the capable
Less is never more and more is never enough
