Big a little a bouncing b The system may have got you but it won't get me No chord 1 2 3 4

Chorus

External control are you gonna let them get you? Do you want to be a prisoner in the boundaries that they set you? You say you want to be yourself By christ do you think they'll let you? They're out to get you get you get you get you get you get you

Verse !: Hello hello hello this is the lord god can you hear? Hellfire and damnation's what i've got for you down hthere On earth i have ambasssadors, archbishop, vicar, pope We'll blind you with morality, you'd best abandon any hope, We're telling you you'd better pray cos you were born in sin Right from the start we'll build a cell and then we'll lock you in We sit in holy judgement condemning those who stray We offer our forgiveness but first we'll make you pay

Repeat chorus

Verse

Hello hello hello now here's a message from your queen As figurehead of the status quo i set the social scene I'm most concerned with my people, i want to give them peace So i'm making sure they stay in line with my army and police My prisons and my mental homes have ever open doors For those amongst my subjects who dare to ask for more Unruliness and disrespect are things i can't allow So i'll see the peasants grovel if they refuse to bow

Repeat chorus

Verse

Introducing the prime minister, she's the mother to us all Like the dutch boy's thumb her arse is in the wall Holding back the future waiting for the seas to part If moses did it with his faith then she'll do it with an army No chords(bass and drum only) Who at times of threatened crisis are certain to be there Guarding national heritage no matter what or where Palaces for kings and queens mansions for the rich Protection for the wealthy defense of privilage They've learnt the ropes in ireland, engaged in civil war Fighting the ruling classes in there battle against the poor So irelands just an island? it's an island of the mind Great britain?future? bollocks, you'd better look behind Round every other corner stands p.c. 1984 Guardian of the future, he'll emplement the law Fii He's there as a grim reminder that no matter what you do Fii Big brother's system is always there with his beady eyes on you Gii From god to local bobby, in home and street and school Gii They've got your name and number while you've got their rule Aii We've got to look for methods to undermine those powers Aii It's time to change the tables the future must be ours
