Subject: RE: The Selling Out of Billy Bragg???
Another one for the sing-along (this IS a music thread after all)
GUY FAWKES' TABLE Attila the Stockbroker
I'm sitting at Guy Fawkes' table The day Parliament voted for war Though the mass of the people oppose it And it flouts international law I'm sitting at Guy Fawkes' table While American thugs flaunt their power Egged on by a sad little muppet And his craven and cowardly shower.
Aneurin Bevan, your party is dead And the time for a new one is nigh Will the last person Left please turn out the lights? New Labour, we're saying goodbye.
They won't be caught up in the carnage They'll be pontificating right here Their kids won't be Iraqi conscripts Moved down while they're shitting with fear No thought for the Kurds in the north zone When the Turks come to do as they will For they are American allies And they'll come with a licence to kill.....
Aneurin Bevan, your party is dead And the time for a new one is nigh Will the last person Left please turn out the lights? New Labour, we're saying goodbye.
I'm sitting at Guy Fawkes' table As Bush and his muppet connive And I'm filled with unspeakable anger And I'm thinking of 1605 One message, Dishonourable Members Who endorsed an illegal attack - No, I don't want to bomb you like Guy did But I'd love to send you to Iraq.
Aneurin Bevan, your party is dead And the time for a new one is nigh Will the last person Left please turn out the lights? New Labour, we're saying goodbye.
We need a new socialist party - But not the Judean People's Front Not another small sect, but a movement With the power to change and confront We need an electoral system Which gives every voter a voice 'Cos we're fed up with voting for traitors And we have the right to a choice!
