The Candidates Find Common Ground
|
|
Full employment, slave labor, and schemes
|
An unemployed workforce, the capitalist's dream
|
But lets keep Britain working--either way we must keep Britain working
|
Conventional weapons to kill people nicely
|
Nuclear weapons to keep the peace
|
But weapons definitely--either way we must defend ourselves
|
Nationalization, with one big boss
|
No, privatization, with lots of little bosses
|
But someone in control, of course, either way there must be someone giving orders
|
(Chorus)
|
A toast to democracy
|
The prison guard of this society
|
Sides in the voting game
|
Disappear into the same machine
|
The same machine
|
A toast
|
To US bases and nuclear weapons
|
To stopping pickets pulling down fences
|
To the British troops in Northern Ireland
|
To the wonderful victory in the Falklands
|
To the plastic bullet and the riot police
|
To the UDM, to the TUC
|
To isolating gays and to law and to order
|
To richer bosses, to poorer workers
|
(Repeat chorus)
|
To longer hours and to less pay
|
To the courts for those who get in our way
|
To the beating of people who step out of line
|
To the use of troops to break a strike
|
To the expulsion of extremists and political witch hunts
|
To repatriation, to benefit cuts
|
To peaceful settlements, and to no strike agreements
|
To authority, to power, to governments
|
One, two, three
|
To the annual rise in the MP's wage
|
To vested interests, to privilege
|
To the party who wins the next election
|
By definition a victory to capitalism
|
