[Intro]
G Em G Em
[Verse 1]
The paGrty that became so pEmowerful by siAmnkin' foreign boCats
GIs dreaming up new proEmmises cause proAmmises win voA7tes
Being Dresolute in cEmonference, the Cad-man's eAmxpertise
The majoBmrity by their silCence should pDay for days like these
[Verse 2]
The riGght to build commEmunities, is baAmck behind closed doCors
G'tween governments and pEmeople stand the righAmt arm of the lawA7  
And shDame upon the patEmriot and the maCrk of the bulldog breeAmd
Is a Bmfamily without a hCome, and a peDnsioner in need
[Verse 3]
ThGose whose lives are ruled by Emdogma, are Amwaitin' for a Csign
GThe better dead than red Embrigade, are listAmenin' on the lA7ine
And the Dliberal with a small "EmL" cries in frCont of the TVAm  
And anothBmer demonstratiCon pasDses on to historyG  
G  Em  Am  C  G  Em  Am  A7
[Chorus]
PeDace, bread, work and frEmeedom
Is the beCst we can achiAmeve
WeaBmring badges is nCot enough
DIn days like theseG

The party that became so powerful by sinkin' foreign boats

Is dreaming up new promises cause promises win votes

Being resolute in conference, the ad-man's expertise

The majority by their silence should pay for days like these

The right to build communities, is back behind closed doors

'tween governments and people stand the right arm of the law

And shame upon the patriot and the mark of the bulldog breed

Is a family without a home, and a pensioner in need

Those whose lives are ruled by dogma, are waitin' for a sign

The better dead than red brigade, are listenin' on the line
