Days Like These (U.K. Version)

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

The party that became so powerful by sinking

foreign boats

Is dreaming up new promises because promises

win votes

And being resolute in conference with the

ad man's expertise

The majority by their silence shall pay for days like these

The right to build communities is back behind

closed doors

'Tween government and people stands the right arm

of the law

And shame upon the patriot when 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 waiting

for a sign

The Better Dead Than Red Brigade are listening on the line

And the liberal, with a small L cries in front of the TV

And another demonstration passes on to history

Peace, bread, work, and freedom is the best we

can achieve

And wearing badges is not enough in days like these
