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!
