Full employment Slave labor and schemes An unemployed workforce The capitalist's dream But let's keep Britain working Either way, we must keep Britain working Conventional weapons To kill people nicely Nuclear weapons To keep the peace But weapons, definitely Either way, we must defend ourselves Nationalization With one big boss No, privatization With lots of little bosses But there's someone in control, of course Either way, there must be someone giving orders A toast to democracy The prison guard of this society Sides in the voting game Disappear into the same machine The same machine (A toast) To U.S. bases and nuclear weapons To stopping pickets and pulling down fences To British troops in northern Ireland To wonderful victory in the Falklands To the plastic bullet and the riot police To the UDM, to the TUC To isolating gays and to law and order To richer bosses, to poorer workers A toast to democracy The prison guard of this society Sides in the voting game Disappear into the same machine The same machine (A toast) To longer hours and to less pay To the courts for those who get in the way To the beating of the people who step out of line To the use of troops to break a strike To the expulsion of extremists and political witch hunts To repatriation, to benefit cuts To peaceful settlements and no strike agreements To authority, to power, to government To the annual rise in the MP's wage To vested interest, to privilege To the party who wins the next election By definition a victory To capitalism
