"We'll conjure up a gimmick - The way to lead an ass Is with a carrot and a stick Dig down for minorities Promise them concessions Ride in on their backs And then teach them all a lesson: 1. Unemployment means depression 2. You're just victims of the recession 3. (We can count on their support - if we channel their you'll be saved All these myths come tailor-made To suit the Company Director Myths that praise the dignity Of cheap, disposable labour Two different routes To an industrial heaven Work for the Boss and parliament And all will be forgiven It's the fear of being sacked That lets the Boss step up the face Because the minute you step out of line There's someone took your place Said the MP to the media: "Can't we juggle this around? Sprinkle sugar on the dogshit And we'll keep the figures down Never let the left hand See what's in the right No-one's any wiser And the problem's our of sight..." Job Clubs, Restart, YTS, CP's, EAS: Take your democratic choice Take a scheme or starve Company profits doubled Wages chopped in half Offer your life to the one true Church: In the name of the Conservative Party The Labour Party And the Liberal Alliance The promised land where banks outnumber churches And your cars shall be martyrs to the cause! Capitalism in crisis... But on the third day it shall rise again. -
