Anthem: 1982
 
 

The streets are empty
The night air's still
I sit by the fireside
And take in my fill

Of a day's daily doings
Relayed by the tube
It's such an endless nightmare
We've nothing left to lose ...

'82 - '82 - '82 ...
1982 ...

Surrounded and silent
They all took a stand
It seemed they'd stayed quiet
In this free land

The media warned them
Of nuclear fear
But who'll be the first fool
To blow up what we've got here ...

'82 - '82 - '82
1982 ...

A society drunk on fear
Getting stoned and high
Taxation and frustration
Makes our people live a lie

They're searchin' for an answer
Just a little hard to grasp
Let them share the wealth
That's all your people ask

But you say, "no, no, no ..."
Your love CAN'T grow
You only tell
Of your political hell

'82 - '82 - '82
1982 ...

'82 - '82 - '82
1982 ...
