War - War - War - War
There's war in Afghanistan
And war in Northern Ireland
And war in South America
And war in Africa
And war - Violence
War - Oppression
There's violence in London
And violence in Bristol
And violence in New York
And violence in Moscow
And war - Violence
War - Oppression
There's war in Heaven
Unrest on Earth
And war in my head
And war in my house
And war - War - War - War

If you gotta job
You can be an agent
You can work for revolution
In your place of employment
If you gotta job you can be an agent
You can work for revolution in your place of employment
If you work in a factory throw a spanner in the works
Internal sabotage, hit them where it hurts
Subvert - Subvert - Subvert - Subvert
If you gotta job
Where they treat you like a slave
Where they treat you like a zombie
In their corporate grave
If you work in a office making tea for the bosses
While they are getting richer on ten time your pay
They may think you're stupid but you're working undercover
You've got the potential to disobey
Subvert - Subvert - Subvert - Subvert
If you've got a job
Cause there's nothing else to do
Where they think they've got you trapped in
The boxes that they choose
If you've got a job you can be an agent
If you work in a kitchen you can redistribute food
If you are a policeman ordered to arrest me
You don't have to do it, you can refuse
Subvert - Subvert - Subvert - Subvert
Subvert - Subvert - Subvert - Subvert
If you gotta job
You can be an agent
You can work for revolution
In your place of employment
If you gotta job you can be an agent
You can work for revolution in your place of employment
If you work in a factory throw a spanner in the works
Internal sabotage, hit them where it hurts
Subvert - Subvert - Subvert - Subvert
