The Candidates Find Common Lyrics

song lyrics The Candidates Find Common Ground 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!
