| Well gather around you boys now and listen to the man
|
| He says we’ve fought evaded but united we will stand
|
| We’ll sacrifice the older ones living in the past
|
| We’ll burn up their religions and we’ll all be free at last
|
| We’ll put a hat upon his head and then we’ll call him God
|
| And then we’ll share our health in him like peas do in a pod
|
| This is the story of a man with his future in his head
|
| But no-one ever listens to him when he’s dead
|
| We’re all getting older
|
| The light is on and bolder
|
| We’re all getting older
|
| We’ll follow him throughout the land obeying his command
|
| We’ll dance a sort of hatred that we think we understand
|
| The children came a-running from their houses of decay
|
| And laid the trust upon a fool who found a better way
|
| He preach the words of wisdom with his hands and with his mouth
|
| Then everyone believed him and then he believed himself
|
| This is the story of a man with his future in his head
|
| But no-one ever listens to him when he’s dead
|
| We’re all getting older
|
| The light is on and bolder
|
| We’re all getting older
|
| Decay
|
| (Spoken voice in background of Neville Chamberlain)
|
| «This morning I had another talk with the German
|
| Chancellor Herr Hitler
|
| Here is the paper which bears his name upon it
|
| As well as mine. |
| We regard the agreement signed
|
| Last night as symbolic of the desire of our two
|
| Peoples never to go to war with one another again.»)
|
| We’re all getting older
|
| The light is on and bolder
|
| We’re all getting older
|
| Decay
|
| The year had come and gone and everyone began to see
|
| Why did we follow such a fool in such a mindless way?
|
| Let’s turn our hatred to this man — we know he’s just a fraud
|
| We crucify him with the rest and find another God
|
| How many times have you heard someone’s coming here to say
|
| That from your hell on earth that you will love until your grave
|
| This is the story of a man with nothing in his head
|
| And no-one's going to listen to you when you’re dead
|
| We’re all getting older
|
| The light is on and bolder
|
| We’re all getting older
|
| We’re all getting older
|
| We’re all getting older
|
| We’re all getting older
|
| We’re all getting older
|
| We’re all getting older
|
| We’re all getting older |
