[1982]
Let’s kick out the Tories
the rulers of this land
for they are the enemies
of the British working man
and it shows, while that bastard is in unemployment grows
and it shows, in hospitals, factories and
the schools that they've closed.
Evil will triumph if good men say nothing
evil will triumph if good men do nothing
and it shows, while that bastard is in unemployment grows
and it shows, from Toxteth down to the Crumlin Road. (*)
Lets overthrow them soon
can’t you see what they're trying to do?
we'll all be frying soon
Can’t you see what they're trying to do?
let’s overthrow them soon
can’t you see what they're trying to do?
they just abuse their power
both black and white are being screwed.
Don't believe every thing that you read in the press
don't believe what you read…

(*) Il verso fa riferimento al sobborgo di Liverpool chiamato Toxteth, un quartiere degradato e povero che all’inizio degli anni 80 fu teatro di violenti scontri, e ai “Troubles” in Nord Irlanda, dove molti episodi sanguinosi avvennero in Crumlin Road, la main street di Belfast…
