When the cowboys and Arabs draw down
27
On each other at noon
28
In the cool dusty air of the city boardroom
29
Will you stand by a passive spectator
30
Of the market dictators
31
Will you discreetly withdraw
32
With your ear pressed to the boardroom door
33

Will you take to the hills

Will you stand, will you stand for it

With their tinned food and their silver spoons

Who turns the key in spite of the fact
65
That this is the end of the cat and mouse
66
Who dwelt in the house
67
Where the laughter rang and the tears were spilt
68
The house that Jack built
69
Where the laughter rang and the tears were spilt
70
The house that Jack built
71
Bang, bang, shoot, shoot
72
White gloved thumb, Lord thy will be done
73
He was always a good boy his mother said
74
He'll do his duty when he's grown, yeah
75
Everybody's got someone they call home
