It couldn't happen here

It couldn't happen here, no it couldn't happen here,
We've made a little Eden, so it couldn't happen here.

We need no revolution to achieve the things we've planned,
No fighting in the streets for us, we've got the promised land.
So it couldn't happen here, no it couldn't happen here,
No fighting in the streets for us, so it couldn't happen here.

There are no more injustices in this dear island home,
Equality, Fraternity and Liberty are won.
So it couldn't happen here, no it couldn't happen here,
There are no more injustices, so it couldn't happen here.

There are no idle rich men now who profit from the poor,
There are no landed gentry shooting grouse upon the moor.
So it couldn't happen here, no it couldn't happen here,
There are no landed gentry, so it couldn't happen here.

There is no exploitation so why should we try to change?
For no-one's making thousands playing on the stock exchange.
So it couldn't happen here, no it couldn't happen here,
For no-one's making thousands so it couldn't happen here.

And even in adversity we share an equal role,
Just witness all the stockbrokers a-waiting at the dole.
So it couldn't happen here, no it couldn't happen here,
Just witness all the stockbrokers, so it couldn't happen here.

There are no wicked landlords here who charge excessive rent,
Our peasants own the land, you see, that's why they're quite content.
So it couldn't happen here, no it couldn't happen here,
Our peasants own the land, you see, so it couldn't happen here.

There are no royal palaces with a thousand empty rooms,
There are no people forced to live in dirty stinking slums.
So it couldn't happen here, no it couldn't happen here,
There are no royal palaces, so it couldn't happen here.
