THE A TEAM


The poll tax hangs above our heads, as Thatcher wields the axe 
The budget, well that pleased us, our shares increased and less tax 
The nurses, fight for better pay ILEA closing down 
Alton hits out with his bill, the yuppies invade town 
The AIDS creation raised its head, their latest weapon to date 
USA battles it out in the Gulf to show only they shall reign 
The IRA bomb a military base some injured, someone dead 
Superpowers discuss Atomic bombs, reductions seem in sight 
Thousands join the new clause and march for Lesbian and Gay rights 
The TUC, they delegate, another disaster strikes 
P & O put their foot down, airport chaos screws the break 
Sunshine radiation homes in; down pours more acid rain 

See it ain't no pretty picture as we see our world destroyed 
Multi-corporation graphs rise up to keep us all employed 

The Government say they're succeeding with their democratic state 
They say that we all stand as equals 
That they genuinely trying, but the bastards are lying 
Spewing out their bullshit, simply talking out their arse 
The opposition prove yet again that they're just a jumped up farce 
Full of socialist Marxist bollocks that just don't make any sense 
Barking totally up the wrong tree on the wrong side of the fence 

The only change you will see from them is the silver handed back 
As you buy their militant paper full of promise and attack 
A more apt title would be "servant" for their lapdogs just the same 
As the racist shitrag bulldog, politricks the game 

Support this, support that you don't know where support is at 
It ain't dishing out little leaflets, wearing badges, looking right 
They march here, march there, showing all how much they care 
Lining someone else's pockets as the bucket comes around again 

If you don't vote, then don't complain - oh fuck off! 

Don't you realise what you're saying? 
You're supporting every move they make 
Holding the parliamentary system up, they rise, the powerful elite 
There is no independence in party politics 
They police the street, they dictate the beat 
Her Majesty's institutions make sure the aware retreat 
Oh yes, it's a sad sickening picture of human nature going wrong 
Plummeting down the depths of degradation, the end, the result of your votes. We stand 
Alone... Stop 

Start- by organising, putting small pieces together 
Soon the bits will fit in place the start of our new picture 
Push forward for what you believe in and on achievement dig in hard 
Don't let them try and break you, without you they fall apart 
Civil rights and natural force will conquer, all and it's right on course 
They can only offer chaos when the least we have got is love 
We're talking one long tough struggle with many set backs along the path 
To freedoms now ahead of us our world will exist at last 

Remember, against all odds 

We offer you democracy and progress. If you have the capital, we can offer you interest 
There is no poverty, this is our reality. We will protect you but only if you invest 
The AIDS crisis comes to those who sin, 
You question the Gulf situation but the right shall win 
Subversive groups are minorities. Will they ever learn and see? 
That we're superpowers, we will always sin 
Support has grown for the mutant sexual acts. Allow us please to give you some hard facts 
We shall not stand for deviancy; it's not the way God meant us to be 
Normal people we must push them back
