Phat bollard have a fantastic pedigree of political busking, you can see in the way their opening line is designed to grab the attention of all within earshot and captivate immediately with catchy hooks and lyrics, as well as gaps that people recognise is the time to donate (or better, send your child to donate!) great to see this folk tradition continuing.
I had the privilege of meeting this amazing team of Phat Bollard in Exeter City Centre on 28 April 2018 . They sing with meaning and passion against issues on injustice! Best among street singers. They are brilliant. Please watch all other videos by them.
Found this recently via HairyCookieMunster and Lowlands Pete who often play music that is really good but not well known in their show (on Odysee). Already found quite some hidden pearls thanks to them lot. These musicians and this song is awesome too! Cheers!
I first saw these on another video which I still have - I showed it to loads of people and they all became fans. I also suggested them for our Community Fete.
Brilliant spot on , Rich get richer and poor get poorer, most of them want to work but cant get it, I always say u cant tar everyone with the same stick. Your band 🎼🎵🎶 is really good fantastic.👍
This is crazy how many views these guys have , they're a band from my small village in Cornwall (and they're called Phat Bollard because the lead singer was called Pat and I think his last name was or rhymed with Bollard)
It’s billionaires now. Great song
Listening to it in 2023. Nothing changes. Great song.
Canadian who heard this song In high school for the first time and still listens 7 years later ❤

Shame they split up and have never played since!

It saddens me how underrated this song is.
I love the tangible anger in this song! I feel this!!!

People before profit, the people are waking up and change is on its way.
People's perspective's will change but congress won't be uncorrupt and billionaires won't stop being billionaires
Until buskers start building and selling shit like microwaves, this song has zero actual meaning.
