lyrics

Time to end the war
To make this the country that we fought for

Mutual welfare
Free healthcare
Education for all
Everyone housed with a living wage
And our children standing tall

But there are those
Who liked it as it was
When women curtsied
And caps were doffed

Fodder for cannons
Fodder for factories
Keeping the working class down on their knees

The 70 Year Itch
It’s an itch we’d better scratch
Because the enemy we defeated is longing to come back

70 years to bitch
70 years to ruin the pitch
Giving it up to fear and blame
Now never again could happen again

Thanks to those who pose like fascist Gods
They love their rallies
They love their baying mobs

Gaslight sermons
Truth gets bent
Making people believe the crazy shit they invent

The 70 year itch
It’s an itch we’d better scratch
Because we’re ignoring history so history will try to come back

70 years to build it up
Tweet a few lies to smash it up
To convince us that what’s worse for us is best for us

There are those who hope that we’ve forgot
Who was who
And who did what

They’re corrupting the file of our memories
And putting us on the road to World War 3..
..4..5..6..

It’s time to end the war
So where is the country that we fought for?
