A
What you trying to say that you 
haven't tried to say before?
You're just another red balloon with
 a lot of hot gas,
Why don't you fuck off?

D                           A
And you think you've got it worked 
out,
D                        A
And you think you've got it made,
D                             A
And you're trying to play the hero,
            D                      
Oh, but you never walk home in the 
E
dark.

A
I think it's time for truth, and the
 truth is you've lost, Uncle Jimmy,
Admit you're a failure and decline 
with honour while you can.

D                           A
And you think you've got it sussed 
out, (Hah!)
D       E             
And you think that we're 
   A
brainwashed, (No way!)
D                           A
And you're trying to form a police 
state,
           D                  
So you can rule our bodies and 
 E
minds.

D                        A
Whatever happened to the great 
empire?
G                           D     
You bastards have turned it into 
 G   D
man - ure!
A                 G              
Tell the young to stick together 
E
now.

A
I bet you sleep at nights in silk 
sheets, and a clean mind,
While killer roam the streets in 
numbers, dressed in blue.

D                            A
And you're trying to hide it from 
us,
D       E         A
But you know what I mean,
D                 A
Bring forward the six pigs,
         D                 E
We wanna see them swing so high,

Liddle Towers!

(there then follows a short guitar 
solo:)

NB: Liddle Towers: Weller shouts 
this before the guitar solo, Liddle 
Towers died in
                   police custody in
 late 1976, the coroner's verdict of
 'misadventure'
                   led the 
newspapers to demand a full enquiry.
