[Originally by Billy Bragg]



I've always been impressed with a girl

Who could sing for her supper and get breakfast as well

That's the way I am, heaven help me

He said, "We don't like peace camapigners 'round here"

As he nailed another one to the wall

And that's what gets me in trouble, heaven help me



Goodbye and good luck to all the rubbish that you've spoken

Goodbye and good luck to all the promises

you've broken

Your life has lost its dignity, its beauty and its passion

You're an accident waiting to happen

There you are standing at the bar

And you're giving me grief about the DDR

And that chip on your choulder gets bigger as you

get older

One of these night you're gonna get caught,

It'll give you a pregnant pause for thought

You're a dedicated swallower of fascism



Time up and time out

For all the liberties you've taken

Time up and time out for all the friends that

you've foresaken

If you choose to waste away like death is back in fashion

You're an accident waiting to happen



And my sins are so unoriginal

I have all the self-loathing of a wolf in sheep's clothing

In this carnival of carnivores,

Heaven help me
