It's not simple to say
That most days I don't think about you
That these promised reformed policies
This charity and its patrons
Have taken more than the just the £38320 I annually gave them
It's not easy to know (basically majority of the UCL student body aren’t aware that we are apart of this charity)
It’s not anything like it used to be (bring back the good ol’ days of 1922 or when it campaigned for women’s and LGBTQ rights)
It has become true
The NUS has not been attention's sweet center
For as long as I can remember
[Chorus]
The NUS is imperfect, but allegedly tries
On paper seems good, but don’t rely
Students are questioning why
Since it doesn't really do much
Is irrelevant, but historically kind
Increasingly lonely most of the time (ICL, Birkbeck, and Loughborough have already left)
The NUS is all of this mixed up
And wrapped in a spenny membership fee
Potentially gone, but it NUSed to be mine
