The winter of discontent's nearing

Thatchers got trouble with her hearing

The voices of many are going unheard

I'd try to laugh if it wasn't absurd



[Chorus:]

This generation won't keep quiet

Work, work, Work or Riot

The time is now to unite,

Work, work, work or Riot

The generation sit cold and die



Feed their facts and live the lie

In the papers everyday

So many rebels being put away

Have you ever heard punk on radio?

Have you ever been to a skinhead show?

No escape for the people like you

Did that happen in your time too?
