I'm sorry,
but there's no fuel in the car
and I can't afford to put some in.
Maybe tomorrow,
I'll have more money
or the day after that.
They say we should drive less, anyway,
because they need all the fuel
for private jets and F1 racing.
The rich are exempt from restrictions
and treat fines like arrears payments.
£100 fine to park in Westminster?
Fine, I'll take a gram less coke
on my way into Parliament.
