Something is very wrong with the country
We live in a dictatorship not a democracy
Our politicians were hijacked long ago
Now even the good one’s work in the shadow

Communism, fascism both stemmed from Marx
The Fabians now use his dialectical remarks
It all makes sense to those in the know
Just don’t spell it out in the manifesto

The workers are the means of production
But the time has now come for a reduction
If the planet is to survive global warming
We had better start obediently conforming

What am I talking about? We do that already
It is a wonder we all don’t sleep with a teddy
What I meant to say was kiss your life goodbye
Let’s face it, most of us deserve to die

All that is required for evil to succeed
Is for good men to watch TV and smoke weed
Who cares what laws get passed in our name?
As long as we have a few tins for the game

They do what they like in the corridors of power
We thought we could stop war with a flower
It was a dream handed to us by men in suits
Nothing that big comes from grassroots

Conveniently that dream died at Altamont
I guess the people never get what they want
The world carried on with corruption and greed
As the hippies’ ideals began to recede

The punks were the last stab at anarchy
But were brushed aside by the hierarchy
It started out as a movement for individualism
But the media sold it as devoid of intellectualism

Nothing could have been further from the truth
Even though Sid Vicious was highly uncouth
Their DIY motto was absolutely brilliant
But after Bill Grundy it was not so resilient

The papers should be ashamed of their reaction
The tits on page three were an obvious contradiction
Youth could not be allowed to have its own voice
For its natural tendency is to fucking rejoice

Music is now shoved down our throats
By the men who like to stare at goats
Mind controlled puppets perform rituals
While they hypnotise us with their visuals

Entertainment these days is mainly bullshit
Simon Cowell should be issued with a judicial writ
Will anything make us get up off our backsides?
Or will we just watch as the country slides?

Cheers!
