m.j. hibbett & the validators - the fight for history lyrics
they’re saying ronald reagan was the master of diplomacy
‘cos he ended the cold war with only thatcher there to help him
they say he led the world in times that were more optimistic
i don’t know about you but that is not how i remember it
the constant crushing certainty of nuclear oblivion
was ended by east germans in berlin not politicians
when warmongers seek credit for a peace they didn’t want
they’ve one eye on the history books, the other’s on the clock
well i was there and i will not forget
the fight for history begins the day that thatcher is dead
the two-faced slip-on socialists who helped her stay in power
are riding round in company cars charging a thousand pounds an hour
to re-ssure the wage slaves who think they’re the wage slaves’ masters
that they’re modern and creative whilst behind the drums beat faster
and we’ve all got to pretend that we now like edwina currie
and that steven norris wasn’t a corrupt adulterous bully
all the smiling lying psychopaths we finally deposed
are now creeping into reality tv and phone-in shows
well i was there and i will not forget
the fight for history begins the day that thatcher is dead
down in soho all the preening pamphlet-headed peac-cks
try to make out it’s iconic wearing council-hair and pop-socks
and paint the eighties as an age of decadence and glamour
as if the miners’ strike, the poll tax and bse never happened
as if section 28 was never p-ssed into the law
as if osama bin laden wasn’t paid to fight our wars
as if the inst-tutionalised weren’t turfed onto the streets
into a new society they said did not exist
well i was there and i will not forget
the fight for history begins the day that thatcher is dead
and if you think it’s past and put to bed
you wait until the wave of lies the day that thatcher is dead
we will fight for history on the day that thatcher’s dead
