The PSHE/ Citizenship Song

nepali folk, meditative, stadium anthem, fast violin, turntablism, drum'n'bass, neo psychedelia

Let’s talk about Politics, the "Westminster" scene,
The struggle for power that’s always been keen.
You’ve got the House of Commons, where the MPs sit,
Debating the bills and the "budgetary" bit.
Then the House of Lords, the "checking" machine,
And the Monarch at the top, though they rarely intervene.
It’s a Democracy, where every vote counts the same,
A "First Past the Post" kind of electoral game.

Now look at the Law, the "Justice" design,
The boundary between the "okay" and the "line."
You’ve got Civil Law, for the debts and the rent,
And Criminal Law, for where the "guilty" are sent.
From the Magistrates' Court to the Crown and the High,
It’s built on a system that’s meant to be "dry."
You’re "Innocent until proven" by a jury of peers,
A human-rights shield that’s been built through the years.

But what about Money, the "Financial" skill?
Managing the "tax" and the "interest" and "bill."
You’ve got Gross Income (the dream you were told),
And Net Income (the actual cash you can hold).
Understand the Credit, the "Loan" and the "Debt,"
And how a bad "Score" is a permanent threat.
Budget your life so you’re never "in hock,"
Building a future on a solid-gold rock.

Then there’s the PSHE, the "Personal" part,
Looking after your head and your body and heart.
Understanding the Relationships, the "Consent" and the "Care,"
And how to spot "Pressure" when it’s in the air.
Media Literacy—spotting the "Fake" and the "Lie,"
And the "Filtered" reality that catches your eye.
It’s about "Resilience," the "Bounce-back" power,
When you’re facing the rain or a dark little hour.

Finally, the Active part—making a change,
Taking a problem and trying to rearrange.
Through Lobbying, Protest, or a "Petition" online,
To make the future look a little more fine.
You’re a "Global Citizen" in a world that is linked,
Where the old ways of thinking are almost extinct.
It’s about your voice and the power of "We,"
The ultimate lesson in Citizenship, see?

It’s the rules of the road and the laws of the land, The power of the vote and the sign of the hand. Citizenship isn’t just a "box to be ticked," It’s knowing the system and how it’s been picked.

It’s your rights, your money, and your mental health, The things that are worth more than physical wealth.
