big a little a bouncing b
the system may have got you but it won't get me
no chord
external control are you gonna let them get you?
Eb Bb G# Bbdo you want to be a prisoner in the boundaries that they set you?
you say you want to be yourself
G# Bbby christ do you think they'll let you?
Eb Bb G# Bbthey're out to get you get you get you get you get you get you
verse !:
Eb Bbhello hello hello this is the lord god can you hear?
G# Bbhellfire and damnation's what i've got for you down hthere
on earth i have ambasssadors, archbishop, vicar, pope
G# Bbwe'll blind you with morality, you'd best abandon any hope,
Eb Bbwe'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
Eb Bbwe sit in holy judgement condemning those who stray
G# Bbwe offer our forgiveness but first we'll make you pay
repeat chorus
verse 2:
Eb Bbhello hello hello now here's a message from your queen
as figurehead of the status quo i set the social scene
Eb Bbi'm most concerned with my people, i want to give them peace
G# Bbso i'm making sure they stay in line with my army and police
my prisons and my mental homes have ever open doors
G# Bbfor those amongst my subjects who dare to ask for more
Eb Bbunruliness and disrespect are things i can't allow
so i'll see the peasants grovel if they refuse to bow
repeat chorus
verse 3:
Introducing the prime minister, she's the mother to us all
G# Bblike the dutch boy's thumb her arse is in the wall
Eb Bbholding 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
Ebround every other corner stands
Ebguardian 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
