Con-Dem Love!
They’re screwing up my mind , wasting my time
Keeping up the pressure on this heart of mine
They’ve got a real obsession , egos out of hand
Out to make a make a killing from their “welfare” scam.
This is Con-Dem love, Con-Dem love, Con-Dem love ,
Condemn .. … Con-Dem love.
Laid my cards on the table told their GP straight
Depressions biting hard and that’s hard to take
I showed him the scars on my arms where I’d cut
He looked me in the eye and said you’re “working fit”
This is Con-Dem love, Con-Dem love, Con-Dem love
They’re going to show you what they’re made of.
On a circle of emotion on the treadmill again
They took away my social, can’t pay the rent
What can do, so ill, I can’t fight,
I toss and turn I stay awake all night
Darkened thoughts are haunting me
I’m so afraid of this reality
This is Con-Dem love , Con-Dem love, Con-Dem love
They’re going to show you what they’re made of.
Sitting in a corner — with the lights switched off
This no win situation’s lost
Can’t make no plans for you or for me
There’s no reason to go on you see .
This is Con-Dem love , Con-Dem love, Con-Dem love
They’re going to show you what they’re made of.
They’re going to show you what they’re made of
They’re screwing up my mind, wasting my time
Keeping up the pressure on this heart of mine
They’ve got real obsession, egos out of hand
Out to make a make a killing from their “welfare” scam.
They’re screwing up my mind , taking away my life x 3

Many thanks for posting, comrades.
I am a trade union activist and singer/songwriter currently working with a group called Disabled People Against Cuts (DPAC) . They have been raising awareness of Government attacks on the most vulnerable in our society . This video helps to explain current problems facing many disabled people.
Based on a true story, the song/video attached describes the torment, fear and helplessness faced by many disabled people. People who are refused entitlement to disability support by Atos, a company acting on behalf of this Con-Dem Government.
This song was recorded live (warts and all) with my mate , Steve Granger .In some small way I hope this song / video helps to get the message across to others. That we need to show solidarity, protect the vulnerable and collectively fight for a better alternative.
Please consider sharing this video message – because the Con-Dem’s wont !
In Solidarity,
Kevin Robins
