Here's my transcription. Same words as John posted, but lined up differently for the Rise Again Songbook.

BETWEEN THE WARS
(Billy Bragg)

I was a miner, I was a docker
I was a railwayman Between the wars
I raised a family in times of austerity
With sweat at the foundry Between the wars

I paid the union and as times got harder
I looked to the government to help the working man
And But they brought prosperity down at the armoury
We're arming for peace, me boys Between the wars

I kept the faith and I kept voting
Not for the iron fist but for the helping hand
For theirs is a land with a wall around it
And mine is a faith in my fellow man

Theirs is a land of hope and glory
Mine is the green field and the factory floor
Theirs are the skies all dark with bombers
Mine is the peace we knew Between the wars

Call up the craftsmen, Bring me the draftsmen
Build me a path from cradle to grave
And I'll give my consent to any government
That does not deny a man a living wage

Go find the young men never to fight again
Bring out the banners from the days gone by
Sweet moderation, Heart of this nation
Desert us not, we are Between the wars

The four-song Between the Wars EP was released by Billy Bragg in 1985. The title track was inspired by the UK miners' strike (1984–1985). The proceeds from sales of the record were donated to the striking miners' fund.
