Search Party - George the poet

I gave you the manifesto of my Search Party

Please read the pages.

My policies support social enterprise, better education

and decent wages

And as long as you wanna be courageous…

I promise you we’re gonna see some changes.

I’m a natural born leader with the skills of a poet

You can feel that it’s real cos you know it.

I speak for the people, cos that’s what a poet’s born to do

So when you think about it, I owe this all to you

I’m making money for the industry off the things you taught me

And that’s never gonna feel right to me

Unless you rise with me, ride with me since you brought me

To a place where I don’t have to write for free.

I paint a

Portrait of Ends at these corporate events.

And you

Know me, I’m never scared of causing offence but they re-

Spect it cos they know that what I’m talking is sense.

Trust me, they’ll pay you more than one-fifty…

There must be a way you all can come with me.

Why should I be the only one with the belly like I

Learned all of this sitting in front of the telly?

I learned it from you, my family as friends.

You give me

Clarity and sense so I can do my job.

That

Means it’s on you whom my salary depends

You need to get this album and bang it in the ends.

There’s too much talent in the ends!

Certain man who never made it out the strip

They’re the same ones who taught me how to spit

They deserve their credit in history

I told you lot already, don’t embed it in mystery.

So I gave you the manifesto of my Search Party

My policies support social enterprise, better education

And as long as you wanna be courageous…

I promise you we’re gonna see some changes.

So if you’re in any way interested in

The future of the world you’ve invested in

The destiny of the place you now reside after

All the conventional power’s died, please consider

Walking down to our side.

We can talk about the

Rising North and South divide and of

Course the housing prices, which are now in crisis.

We hold

Discussions on property value and how it rises.

And

Even when we don’t have the answers, we can di-

Rect you to where all the sound advice is.

Our

Policies might not always sound the nicest but you’ve

Finally found a guy that’s down to fight this.

I don’t be-

Lieve being unemployed makes you null-and-void.

I won’t just lie to you when you become annoyed.

I was once a boy who would jump for joy at

Something as simple as a bunch of toys, but

After a while that stuff becomes a ploy to

Help us sidestep the things we want to avoid and at

This stage in my life, I’ve come to a point where I

Want to get everyone who wants a voice to come and

Help me make some constructive noise, I fucks with

Choice, empowerment and participation.

That’s now essential for our situation.

The

Solution is not some half-ass litigation

Masquerading as a first class dissertation that

Ultimately won’t pass the curation stage and therefore won’t

Last the duration.

The solution is commitment to the

Task that we’re facing.

I accept the challenge and I’m asking for patience.
