do you want to be a prisoner in the boundaries that they set you?

you say you want to be yourself
                 Ab                Bb

Eb                                Bb

      Ab                       Bb
we'll blind you with morality, you'd best abandon any hope,
Eb                                  Bb
we're telling you you'd better pray cos you were born in sin
      Ab                                Bb
right from the start we'll build a cell and then we'll lock you in
Eb                       Bb
we sit in holy judgement condemning those who stray
Ab                           Bb
we offer our forgiveness but first we'll make you pay

repeat chorus

verse 2:
Eb                             Bb
hello hello hello now here's a message from your queen
   Ab                             Bb
as figurehead of the status quo i set the social scene
Eb                                   Bb
i'm most concerned with my people, i want to give them peace
       Ab                                    Bb
so i'm making sure they stay in line with my army and police
Eb                             Bb
my prisons and my mental homes have ever open doors
    Ab                            Bb
for those amongst my subjects who dare to ask for more
Eb                            Bb
unruliness and disrespect are things i can't allow
   Ab                           Bb
so i'll see the peasants grovel if they refuse to bow

repeat chorus

verse 3:
Eb                              Bb
Introducing the prime minister, she's the mother to us all
     Ab                        Bb
like the dutch boy's thumb her arse is in the wall
Eb                              Bb
holding back the future waiting for the seas to part
Ab                             Bb
if moses did it with his faith then she'll do it with an army

who at times of threatened crisis are certain to be there
guarding national heritage no matter what or where
palaces for kings and queens mansions for the rich
protection for the wealthy defense of privilage
they've learnt the ropes in ireland, engaged in civil war
fighting the ruling classes in there battle against the poor
so irelands just an island? it's an island of the mind
great britain?future? bollocks, you'd better look behind
Eb
round every other corner stands p.c. 1984
Eb
guardian of the future, he'll emplement the law
Fii
he's there as a grim reminder that no matter what you do
Fii
big brother's system is always there with his beady eyes on you
Gii
from god to local bobby, in home and street and school
Gii
they've got your name and number while you've got their rule
Aii
we've got to look for methods to undermine those powers
Aii
it's time to change the tables the future must be ours
