We’ve become a culture that is almost based on greed
And it is the adverts that cultivate the seed!
You must all have seen them offering free bets.
Just think of the riches an accumulator gets!
Pick the results of matches and the basic odds will grow
But I think there’s something you really ought to know!
The odds are with the bookie every single time
They know they are going to win with confidence sublime!
Have you ever seen a bookie signing on the dole?
You may be winning once or twice but you’ll lose on the whole!
And now just think how easy it is to place your wager
No travel to the bookies or doing something major.
Just press a little button on the phone within your hand
And you use your credit card for any cash demand!
My word, before you notice, you have slipped into debt
But there’s no need to worry. There’s loans that you can get.
They don’t ask any questions. Just give you loads of money.
But what about the interest rate? It really isn’t funny!
And I have got news for you – you have to pay it back.
All because your greed has moved you slightly off the track!
Betting is the way it starts, that very slippery slope
And the only way it ends is with you losing hope.
Who on earth will sort this out? Are we all too weak?
What of the Tory party? It’s only power they seek!
Big business pays their wages so they’ll not interfere.
Of course we all want freedom. No regulation here!
But is it really freedom, which lands us in the cart?
Lord please act to change it. I pray with all my heart!
