Keep the young ones paralysed,
SOL RE
Educated by your lies

Tell the singer not to sing this song
SOL RE
Tell the poet that she’s wrong
LA DO SOL
In the court you’ll win the case with lies
Coz you sold them down the river
Chorus

Do I belong to an ancient race

I like to walk in ancient places
LA DO SOL
These are things that I can’t understand

I do believe in your modern ways
SOL RE
Don’t care about the things you say
LA DO SOL
Your policies have failed the test of time
Coz you sold them down the river
Verse 2
In a land not far away
There are many prisoners coz they say
The colour of your skin is not the question
Did you rally to their side
Na you sat back and let them die
Don’t know how you get to sleep tonight
Tonight

LA DO RE
Your money market goes round and round
LA DO RE
Pound goes up the dollar goes down
LA DO RE
Another south American forest cut down
LA DO RE
Need your pound for your new town
LA DO RE
You get scared when the boy comes down
LA DO RE
Can’t you tell me where it is we are bound
Chorus
