[Verse]

C C B A# C C B A#

The black and white racial disharmony

C C B A# C C B A#

It's just a cover story.

C C B A# C C B A#

Concocted to hide the fact

C C B A# C C B A#

that working class people ar still being kicked all over the place

[Verse]

C C B A# C C B A#

WORK. It's nothing but a diversion.

Pulling to the rules made up by who,

C C B A# C C B A#

a long long time ago.

Slow death, tailored to suit you.

PLAY. What play?

C C B A# C C B A#

I can't afford the boat show or a yacht.

C C B A# C C B A#

The cinemas are gone now, the few that we had.

C C B A# C C B A#

So tell me: what we got left?

C C B A# C C B A#

A part from REGGAE! and dancin'.

C C B A# C C B A#
