Ordinary people don't get time to think
|
not that it's their fault
|
cos you have to hustle and bustle about your work
|
just to make sure the food gets bought
|
goverments threaten you with recession
|
then they threaten you with war
|
how the other side wants to take away
|
all the things you ain't got no more
|
keep us divided with their greed and hate
|
keep you struggling to put the food on your plate.
|
Imagine if tomorrow the workers went on strike
|
not just British Leyland but the whole world
|
who would earn their profits?
|
who would make their bombs?
|
you'd see the hands of oppression fumble
|
and their systems crash to the ground
|
and you men in uniform will have to learn the lesson too
|
not to turn against your own kind
|
whenever governments tell you to.
|
|
Get the trans-global express moving
|
and see our marvellous leaders quiver
|
they know that if it happens
|
their lazy days are over
|
the day the working people join together
|
we'll all rest much more easy
|
the responsibilty you must bear
|
when it's your own future in your hands
|
maybe a hard one to face up to
|
but at least you will own yourself!
