lyrics

my CB handle was folksinger
i sang out sisters
sang out brothers

i sang for the citizens and every mother's trucker

and i bought the spirit back
to the radio shack

i was a teenage bellringer
ring-a-dinging for everyone

bells of freedom
bells of fun

and we drank cider in the tower
and revelled in our drunken power

so how did we become so powerless
gods and odds stacked against us

they're killing our will to defy

is this just another track on forgotify?

some of us remember 1984
thatcher’s totalitarian law

it's 2000frackerlackerlacking now

and the bad things that are happening
are the things that we allow

I'm an electronic messenger
to tablets and handsets I send word
about the real big society that we deserve

or you can sit there and yawn
and watch your x-factor porn

that's how we became so powerless
gods and odds stacked against us

they're killing our will to defy

is this just another track on forgotify?

some of us remember 1984
thatcher’s totalitarian law

it's 2000frackerlackerlacking now

and the bad things that are happening are the things that we allow
no it shouldn't be allowed

no it shouldn't be allowed

all the miners
and shoeshiners
say it shouldn't be allowed

all the carers
and fair sharers
say it shouldn't be allowed

attlee's dream where is it now?
selling our country for a pound

hostile architects designed this town
if you need a lie down
they've put spikes in the ground

it's simon cowell vrs henry cow
and lennon’s still screaming 'i found out'

that there's a lot of things
that shouldn't be allowed

no they shouldn't be allowed

it shouldn't be allowed
