Billy Bragg foi descrita pelo jornal The Times como um 'tesouro nacional'. In the two and a half decades of his career Bragg has certainly made an indelible mark on the conscience of British music, becoming perhaps the most stalwart guardian of the radical dissenting tradition that stretches back over centuries of the country’s political, cultural and social history. Nas duas décadas e meia de sua carreira Bragg tem certamente fez uma marca indelével sobre a consciência da música britânica

EE2 When one voice rules the nation EE2 Just because they're top of the pile EE2BEE2 Doesn't mean their vision is the clearest
(repeat pattern) The voices of the people Are falling on deaf ears Our politicians all become careerists
A They must declare their interests E But not their company cars EC#m Is there more to a seat in the Parliament F#mB2 Than sitting on your arse
(pattern 1) And the best of all this bad bunch Are shouting to be heard Above the sound of ideologies clashing
(pattern 1) Outside the patient millions Who put them into power Expect a little more back for their taxes
(pattern 1) Like schools books,beds in hospitals And peace in our bloody time All they get is old men grinding axes
(pattern 2) Who've built their private fortunes On the things they can rely The courts,the secret handshake The Stock Exchange and the old school tie
(pattern 1) For God and Queen and Country All things they justify Above the sound of ideologies clashing
(pattern 1) God bless the Civil Service The nations saving grace While we expect democracy They're laughing in our face And although our cries get louder Their laughter gets louder still Above the sound of ideologies clashing
finish on C#m
more to come - eventually.
