Lyrics for The Candidates Find Common Ground by Chumbawamba:
| | | Artist: | Chumbawamba |
| | Album: | Never Mind The Ballots | | Track: | The Candidates Find Common Ground | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 87 | | | | Lyrics: | Full employment!
Slave labour and schemes!"
"An unemployed workforce
The
capitalist's dream!"
"But let's 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"
"Nationalism
With one big boss!"
"No, privatisation
With
lots of little bosses!"
"But someone in control of course
Either way there must be someone
giving orders"
A toast to democracy
The prison guard of this society
Sides in
the voting game
Disappear into the same machine...
A toast!
To US bases and
nuclear weapons
To stopping pickets, pulling down fences
To British troops in Northern
Ireland
To the wonderful victory in the Falklands
To the plastic bullet and the riot
police
To the UDM and the TUC
To isolating gays and to law and order
To richer bosses
and poorer workers
To longer hours and ess pay
To the courts (for those we get in the
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
To political witch hunts
To repatriation and to
benefit cuts
To peaceful settlements
And no strike agreements
To authority, to power,
to governments
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!
