Dead dreams
 
 Dead dreams flying flags
 
 Flapping into the breeze
 
 Wave your coloured rags
 
  
  Hard times
 
 Were they never any better
 
 Maybe never ever
  
 
 The slogan will take you like lemmings to the cliff
 
 You'll feel better than ever
 
 And into the abyss
 
 Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!
  
 
 Hard times
 
 Were they never any better
  
 
 Every crack every crevice will be sanitised
 
 There'll be no more war
 
 There'll be no more choice
  
 
 And those not behind you
 
 Should go live elsewhere
 
 Spies everywhere
 
 You put the poison in the air
  
 
 Hard times
 
 Were they never any better
  
 
 The words cry for help
 
 But the music says no
 
 Every sentence a siege of national pride
  
 
 Hard times
 
 Were they never any better, maybe
  
 
 And i
 
 I won't answer the call
 
 I don't like khaki
 
 I won't wear your uniform
  
 
 There'll be no more war
 
 There'll be no more choice
 
 There'll be no more war
 
 There'll be no more choice
  
 
 Hard times
 
 Were they ever any better
