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! |
