lyrics

I see the ghosts of all the Jarrow Marchers
There's Red Ellen as she led the line
And down in Tolpuddle there's six men martyred
Standing together was their only crime

Chorus:
This is your land of hope and glory
Where if you're poor you have to beg and bow
And in your land of hope and glory
It's the hope that we're in need of now

Winstanley and the Diggers saw their free crop slaughtered
As soldiers drove them from the common land
And poor John Ball he was hanged, drawn and quartered
For preaching justice for the common man

Chorus

Old Thomas Paine, a pauper, mocked and threatened
A Nursery Rhyme, all for The Rights of Man
While Mary Wollstonecraft, her words her weapons
Asked: Where's the women in your masterplan

Chorus

From the Suffragettes they tied down and force-fed in prison
To the tanks that Churchill sent to hold George Square
And a fight for justice treated with derision
By the very men who rammed them fans in there

Chorus

'Your Country Needs You!' To believe in fables
Like the Yew Tree with the rotten roots
From Corporation Fields right down to Cable Street
We never liked the sound of your jack boots

Chorus

To the alienated and the apathetic
From the Guineamen that built the city hall
To the miner stitched-up with no anaesthetic
It's all for one, but never one for all.
