She blames it on the bats
She blames it on the newts
She blames it on the NIMBYs
And their neighbourhood disputes
She blames it on the folk
Who don’t want her to succeed
She blames it on the growth
Of a protected species
She blames it on the planners
And people in The South
She says we look like lunatics
The things we care about
She wants growth
Growth
Growth
Economic growth
She wants growth
Growth
Growth
Economic growth
She wants growth
Economic growth
When did that ever
Make your life get any better
She wants growth
Economic growth
When did that ever
Make your life get any better
She says be more like Donald
Who says everything is great
She says she would be honoured
If he would be her mate
She blames it on the newts
She blames it on the bats
He blames it on the immigrants
Who eat dogs and cats
She wants growth
Growth
Growth
Economic growth
She wants growth
Growth
Growth
Economic growth
She wants growth
Economic growth
When did that ever
Make your life get any better
She wants growth
Economic growth
When did that ever
Make your life get any better
She wants growth
She needs GDP
Without it she’ll have to tax
The super-wealthy
