While sons and daughters of the empire

Stained the map red, white and blue

Back at home the storm clouds thundered

Dole queues lengthened - unrest grew

'til the tides of fresh opinion

Washed away the world they knew.



Exchange inhuman wrongs for human rights

This underdog not only barks - it bites!



Take your partners for our civil war dance

Open season on the under worked and overpaid.

Breast fed lies and cathode rays

Speak their minds down party chat lines

(they don't have that much to say)

Told nothing of the world we live in

Or that it will be theirs someday.



This system cultivates our lust and greed

With anti-social insecurity.



Take your partners for our civil war dance

Open season on the under worked and overpaid.

Erase the Constitution - a bloody revolution

Is the simplest solution to the problems that they have made.

So pay your "soul tax" when you reach the gates.



Take your partners for our civil war dance

Open season on the under worked and overpaid.

Erase the Constitution - a bloody revolution

Is the simplest solution to the problems that they have made.

Hands grown hard with honest toil

Fuel the fires of mass rebellion

Hatred's cauldron starts to boil

They fight for something they believe in

Not another nation's oil.



Britannia cowers in her public school

Once too often now she's waived the rules.



Take your partners for our civil war dance

Open season on the under worked and overpaid.

Erase the Constitution - a bloody revolution

Is the simplest solution to the problems that they have made
