[Intro] G Em G Em [Verse 1]
      G                   Em           Am              C
The party that became so powerful by sinkin' foreign boats

G                     Em             Am          A7
Is dreaming up new promises cause promises win votes

      D            Em             C         Am
Being resolute in conference, the ad-man's expertise

        Bm               C            D
The majority by their silence should pay for days like these
[Verse 2]
      G                Em            Am                 C
The right to build communities, is back behind closed doors

G                       Em                  Am              A7
'tween governments and people stand the right arm of the law

      D               Em             C                     Am
And shame upon the patriot and the mark of the bulldog breed

    Bm                 C            D
Is a family without a home, and a pensioner in need
[Verse 3]
  G                            Em         Am            C
Those whose lives are ruled by dogma, are waitin' for a sign

G                       Em                Am            A7
The better dead than red brigade, are listenin' on the line

        D                     Em            C            Am
And the liberal with a small "L" cries in front of the TV

         Bm            C     D                 G
And another demonstration passes on to history
G Em Am C G Em Am A7 [Chorus]
  D                      Em
Peace, bread, work and freedom

         C             Am
Is the best we can achieve

   Bm              C
Wearing badges is not enough

D                 G
In days like these
