Thread Name: Better Fed than Dead-anti-nuclear song-authorship
Subject: Better Fed than Dead
I'm trying to trace the authorship of an anti-nuclear song called Better Fed Than Dead. The text goes.

Trident, Trident – what an absurd idea!
Thousands homeless all for the price of fear
We can't afford medication, or proper education
But we must pay a million a day
So that Britain can disappear!

Trident, trident – give us a break, please do
We'd go bankrupt, all for the price of you
We'd lose even more employment and most of life's enjoyment
So sling your hook to the history books
And no-one will cry boo hoo.

Also, there's a third verse which begins something like

"Maggie has gone too far.........a nuclear arms bazaar.."

Many thanks to anyone who can help.
