The Day That Thatcher Dies |
We will laugh the day that Thatcher dies |
Even though we know it’s not right |
We will dance and sing all night |
I was blind in 1979 |
By '82 I had clues |
By 1986 I was mad as hell |
The teachers at school |
They took us for fools |
'Cause they never taught us what we should do |
But Christ, we were strong |
We knew all along |
We taught ourselves the right from wrong |
Because those punk rock kids with punk rock kicks |
Well it’s not their fault |
And those hip-hop boys and heavy metal girls |
No, it’s not their fault |
It was love, but Tories don’t know what that means |
She was Michelle Cox from the lower stream |
She wore high-heeled shoes while the rest wore flat soles |
And the playground taught her how to be cruel |
I talked politics and she called me a fool |
She wrapped an ankle chain 'round my left-wing heart |
The teachers at school |
They took us for fools |
'Cause they never taught us what we should do |
But Christ, we were strong |
We knew all along |
We taught ourselves the right from wrong |
Because those punk rock kids with punk rock kicks |
Well it’s not their fault |
And those hip-hop boys and heavy metal girls |
No, it’s not their fault |
We will laugh the day that Thatcher dies |
Even though we know it’s not right |
We will dance and sing all night |
Ding dong, the witch is dead |
Which old witch? |
The wicked witch |
Ding dong, the witch is dead |
The wicked witch is dead |
