Lyrics
N.I.O. (New Information Service)
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.
Privatise next
The air force, then
The police force,
Royal Family,
Let them be
Private at last.
Set them free,
Let them go home.
Save a bomb on union flags.
Privatise the sea.
Privatise the wind.
Don't just tinker
With unseeded cloud,
You got to sell
Weather itself.
Set it free.
Don't waste good air,
Breathing isn't paying its way.
