"Trans-Global Express" |
Ordinary people don’t get time to think |
not that it’s their fault |
cos you have to hustle and bustle about your work |
just to make sure the food gets bought |
goverments threaten you with recession |
then they threaten you with war |
how the other side wants to take away |
all the things you ain’t got no more |
keep us divided with their greed and hate |
keep you struggling to put the food on your plate. |
Imagine if tomorrow the workers went on strike |
not just British Leyland but the whole world |
who would earn their profits? |
who would make their bombs? |
you’d see the hands of oppression fumble |
and their systems crash to the ground |
and you men in uniform will have to learn the lesson too |
not to turn against your own kind |
whenever governments tell you to. |
Get the trans-global express moving |
and see our marvellous leaders quiver |
they know that if it happens |
their lazy days are over |
the day the working people join together |
we’ll all rest much more easy |
the responsibilty you must bear |
when it’s your own future in your hands |
maybe a hard one to face up to but at least you will own yourself! |
