lyrics

What a bloody waste
There's people tearing us down
But no-one wants to know
They want to keep their job secure

Unions losing power
Hardly raising a frown
As long as there is work to do
No-one breaks ground

Face away, face away from it all

Settling for nothing
It's a negative game
Workers keep the country going
But they just stay the same

Everyone can't lose their jobs
It might seem that way
Accepting cuts in wages
Doesn't make it OK

Who am I to grumble
Who am I to say why
People shouldn't give up
And just lie down and die

It is not my problem
Is the common reply
What a bloody waste
No wonder nobody tries

Face the searing pain
And cry out again
