Days Like These
Billy Bragg
[Intro] [Verse 1] The party that became so powerful by sinkin’ foreign boats Is dreaming up new promises cause promises win votes Being resolute in conference the ad-man’s expertise The majority by their silence should pay for days like these [Verse 2] The right to build communities is back behind closed doors ’tween governments and people stand the right arm of the law And shame upon the patriot and the mark of the bulldog breed Is family without home and pensioner in need [Verse 3] Those whose lives are ruled by dogma are waitin’ for a sign The better dead than red brigade are listenin’ on the line And the liberal with a small "L" cries in front of the TV And another demonstration passes on to history [Chorus] Peace bread work and freedom Is the best we can achieve Wearing badges is not enough In days like these
