lyrics

They talk of good old days of family and home shifting the earth and drilling holes into the stone but the mines are long since closed and the factories are gone we are the last sons of the working man rising at dawn to face the winter cold driving through the rain to bring the harvest to the hold don’t speak of angry bureaucrats who left he men alone we are the last sons of the working man working man

And I say curse the iron lady as she sits upon her throne and damn the union leaders with their suits and telephones cos they left the men redundant and drove the final nail into the coffin of the working man

How do you move on when the shit has hit the fan broken homes and benefits dependence on the man who sends the food parcels when there is no pension plan we are the last sons of the working man times they are a changing but life keeps moving on the children have all flown the nest recession has begun but don’t ever forget who built the house that you call home don’t forget about the working man

What kind of example do you want us all to follow working for the wages that you’ll steal away tomorrow and how do we survive when all we own is borrowed from the pockets of the working man don’t take it from me I know you do the best you can while hypocrites fools and bastards raze the green and pleasant land but who will you turn to when you realise their plan only the last sons of the working man

In a queue I’m standing in the dole queue
