The Candidates Find Common Ground

Full employment, slave labor, and schemes

An unemployed workforce, the capitalist's dream

But lets keep Britain working--either way we must keep Britain working

Conventional weapons to kill people nicely

Nuclear weapons to keep the peace

But weapons definitely--either way we must defend ourselves

Nationalization, with one big boss

No, privatization, with lots of little bosses

But someone in control, of course, either way there must be someone giving orders

(Chorus)

A toast to democracy

The prison guard of this society

Sides in the voting game

Disappear into the same machine

The same machine

A toast

To US bases and nuclear weapons

To stopping pickets pulling down fences

To the British troops in Northern Ireland

To the wonderful victory in the Falklands

To the plastic bullet and the riot police

To the UDM, to the TUC

To isolating gays and to law and to order

To richer bosses, to poorer workers

(Repeat chorus)

To longer hours and to less pay

To the courts for those who get in our way

To the beating of people who step out of line

To the use of troops to break a strike

To the expulsion of extremists and political witch hunts

To repatriation, to benefit cuts

To peaceful settlements, and to no strike agreements

To authority, to power, to governments

One, two, three

To the annual rise in the MP's wage

To vested interests, to privilege

To the party who wins the next election

By definition a victory to capitalism
