They promised harmony
Took the coal and the ships and the steel and our self-esteem
Sowed poison instead of seeds
Said there's no such thing as society
One nine seven nine (hear it echo every day)
One nine seven nine
They said, hey you! You'll be okay!
Just don't be poor, don't be sick, don't be brown, don't be trans or gay
We're gonna bring the good times back!
I'm all right Jack wave your union flag
One nine seven nine (hear it echo every day)
One nine seven nine
Run it down
Sell the sky and the ground
Cut the heart from the state and the life from the towns
Run it down
Sell the sky and the ground
Cut the heart from the state and the life from the towns
One nine seven nine (hear it echo every day)
One nine seven nine

I can't hide
Can't keep my head down
Walk in straight lines
When pulpits decry
Some days I'm scared
I'll end as headlines
I'm no fool, I know you see
The looks you get when you are with me
The wrong attention we attract
Loving me is a political act
I can't deny
I don't know why you'd choose this hard life
Your heart is bigger than the sky
Your love gives me life
I'm no fool, I know you see
The looks you get when you are with me
The wrong attention we attract
Loving me is a political act

Battlecry

We're not brave, we're scared to death
Alone we're weak
Together we have strength
Back us into a corner and we fight back
Back us into a corner and we fight
This is our battle cry
It's time to draw a line under you
This is our battle cry
If you don't respect us, expect us
We just wanted a quiet life
You stabbed our backs, twisted the knife
Back us into a corner and we fight back
Back us into a corner and we fight
This is our battle cry
It's time to draw a line under you
This is our battle cry
If you don't respect us, expect us

Blue lights in a late night summer sky
It starts on four and climbs to twenty more
You would have seen it from your ivory tower if you'd lived there
Could have made sure it never happened if you'd cared
Seventy-two, seventy-two, seventy-two
Seventy-two, seventy-two should haunt you
There are no lessons ever learned
When it's just the poor who burn
Red lights in a late night summer sky
Twelve years of fears always denied
You promised help that never came
Soon you'll conclude no-one's to blame
No-one's ever to blame
Seventy-two, seventy-two, seventy-two
Seventy-two, seventy-two should haunt you
There are no lessons ever learned
When it's just the poor who burn
Blue lights in a late night summer sky
