guarding national heritage no matter what or where
palaces for kings and queens mansions for the rich
protection for the wealthy defense of privilage
they've learnt the ropes in ireland, engaged in civil war
fighting the ruling classes in there battle against the poor
so irelands just an island? it's an island of the mind
great britain?future? bollocks, you'd better look behind
Ebround every other corner stands p.c. 1984
Ebguardian of the future, he'll emplement the law
Fiihe's there as a grim reminder that no matter what you do
Fiibig brother's system is always there with his beady eyes on you
Giifrom god to local bobby, in home and street and school
Giithey've got your name and number while you've got their rule
Aiiwe've got to look for methods to undermine those powers
Aiiit's time to change the tables the future must be ours
bass solo under lyrics(various pickings by guitar)
chorus to suburban home please send it. thanks
