DADDY DADDY
Daddy daddy what did you do in the war
Daddy daddy what were you fighting for
were you fighting for yourself or fighting for your queen
Show us your pictures of the war the ones we haven't seen
Is that man there lying down or has he just been shot
Wouldn't he look better dad with the legs he hasn't got
Daddy Daddy
What are all those rifles for with helmets on the top
Just the graves of those who died son isn't there a lot
How did that many die that day let's have one more glance
How did they die please tell us why they never stood a chance
Daddy Daddy
Daddy daddy what did you do in the war
Daddy daddy what were you fighting for
were you fighting for yourself or fighting for your queen
Show us your pictures of the war the ones we haven't seen
Is that man there lying down or has he just been shot
Wouldn't he look better dad with the legs he hasn't got

DON'T VOTE
Systems are fatal there's no two ways
When you vote for a government you number your days
Don't believe a word any government say
'cos once they've got their power it's you that pays
Don't vote Don't vote Don't vote Don't vote
Don't vote Don't vote Don't vote
Don't vote for government 'cos every party's just the same
Once they control parliament the pleasure turns to pain
They'll do anything for power definately lie
To protect their power they're clever and sly
For an abundance of wealth until they die
And with their power the limit's the sky
Don't vote Don't vote........
Don't vote conservative I've heard them all complain
But what about labour do you want them again
Liberal ain't much better they offer the same
Vote for any party and you're to blame
Don't vote Don't vote........
Ignore their fancy smiles and their stiff upper lip
'Cos when the camera turns away you'll see the smile slip
Once the bastards get their power things won't change a bit
It won't be equal wealth or handouts just a load of shit
Don't vote Don't vote........
THATCER
Look after your shoulder if you want to see a future
You'll see the age old systems it's happened all before
We've a present crisis 'cos of a woman called thatcher
She's thrown the country off a cliff we're heading for a war
Thatcher........
She thinks she's got a problem so she's craving more power
She thinks that the answer to her problem is a bomb
Her fantasies are based on that fatal hour
when she can press the little button and press the world to doom
Thatcher........
After that moment when the weapons are flying
Look up to the sky and see the russians overhead
You look to the ground you see the people are dying
You can watch all this if you ain't already dead
Thatcher........
She'll be safe in a government bunker
Watching us rif-raf trying to dodge the blast
But thatcher watch your government we're gonna fuck ya
Britains future won't be a copy of the past
Thatcher........
Look after your shoulder if you want to see a future
You'll see the age old systems it's happened all before
We've a present crisis 'cos of a woman called thatcher
She's thrown the country off a cliff we're heading for a war
Thatcher........
