newtown neurotics - fighting times (live at wapping wall, london, uk 1986) lyrics

Loading...

how will the ruling classes keep one jump ahead of you?
it is quite simple education cuts will do
they realise that knowledge is power
and power creates money which you can buy yourself
a decent education or two

chorus:
i’ve seen your future
i’ve seen your future
a generation with nothing left to lose
why are you so quiet
when these are fighting times?

i don’t wanna be a rich man, i don’t wanna win the pools
i want wealth for all like health care jobs and schools
unemployment has a devastating effect
rob someone of their right to work
and you know, they feel they have nothing left

chorus:
i’ve seen your future
i’ve seen your future
a generation with nothing left to lose
why are you so quiet
when these are fighting times?

well, disagree and you’re extremist and that worries me
stretch a term too far and in the end what does it mean?
ask no questions and you’ll still get lies
and they will fill your head
your silence can be misconstrued
as a vote of confidence…
just listen to them …..
“we’re sorry you’re so poor + hey, better luck next time”

in this country fit for heroes, in the air, i love to breathe
is the stinking smell of fascism and it’s suffocating me
white south africa retains its colonial ways
‘cos its greed creates the scum that rules a land
and imprisons its people as slaves

chorus:
i’ve seen your future
i’ve seen your future
a generation with nothing left to lose
why are you so quiet
when these are fighting times?

fighting times
fighting times
fighting times
frightening times
