What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
Ordinary people don't get time to think
2
not that it's their fault
3
cos you have to hustle and bustle about your work
4
just to make sure the food gets bought
5
goverments threaten you with recession
6
then they threaten you with war
7
how the other side wants to take away
8
all the things you ain't got no more
9
keep us divided with their greed and hate
10
keep you struggling to put the food on your plate.
11
Imagine if tomorrow the workers went on strike
12
not just British Leyland but the whole world
13
who would earn their profits?
14
who would make their bombs?
15
you'd see the hands of oppression fumble
16
and their systems crash to the ground
17
and you men in uniform will have to learn the lesson too
18
not to turn against your own kind
19
whenever governments tell you to.
20
Get the trans-global express moving
21
and see our marvellous leaders quiver
22
they know that if it happens
23
their lazy days are over
24
the day the working people join together
25
we'll all rest much more easy
26
the responsibilty you must bear
27
when it's your own future in your hands
28
maybe a hard one to face up to
29
but at least you will own yourself!
