CFifteen long Gyears in the sCtrip mill at RFavenscraig,
Ctwenty-five Fmore in the Cbowels of the Gearth,
Cdigging for Gfuel to Cfire the Fbosses
who Cturn around and Ftell us that Gwe've no more Cwork.
(Chorus)
CClose it down, Gshut it. CNot enough Fprofit.
CPadlock the Fgates, aye, and Csend the men Ghome.
CNo sir, not vGiable; Cwe've become Fliable
for the Cworking class Fpeople, whose Gwork is all Cdone.
CLong days in the sGhipyards, qCuietly wFaiting,
Credundancy Fnotice in Choliday Gpay.
CPrivatized Gpower for Cfortunate Fpeople
with sChares in the mFarketplace rGeady to trCade.
(Chorus)
CFat cats are Gsharing the Ccream of the Fbooty
while Cpeople lay Fshivering in Cboxes of Gcard.
CNo jobs Gtoday; Ccome back toFmorrow.
We'll Ctell you the sFame thing, it Gisn't so Chard.
(Chorus)
CLay off the wGorkers, the fCathers, the sFons;
Cpeople who sFpent their lives Cunder the Gground
Cearning a Gwage for a fCamily to kFeep all their
Cheads above Fwater, 'til the nGext work is fCound.

C G C F

Fifteen long years in the strip mill at Ravenscraig,

C F C G

twenty-five more in the bowels of the earth,

C G C F

digging for fuel to fire the bosses

C F G C

who turn around and tell us that we've no more work.

(Chorus)

C G C F

Close it down, shut it. Not enough profit.

C F C G

Padlock the gates, aye, and send the men home.

C G C F

No sir, not viable; we've become liable

C F G C

for the working class people, whose work is all done.

C G C F

Long days in the shipyards, quietly waiting,

C F C G

redundancy notice in holiday pay.

C G C F

Privatized power for fortunate people

C F G C

with shares in the marketplace ready to trade.

(Chorus)

C G C F

Fat cats are sharing the cream of the booty

C F C G

while people lay shivering in boxes of card.

C G C F

No jobs today; come back tomorrow.

C F G C

We'll tell you the same thing, it isn't so hard.

(Chorus)

C G C F

Lay off the workers, the fathers, the sons;

C F C G

people who spent their lives under the ground

C G C F

earning a wage for a family to keep all their

C F G C

heads above water, 'til the next work is found.
