Tom: Em
Em Cmaj7
Em Cmaj7
[Verse 1]
Em Cmaj7
Big Macs for the fat, lo-cal wraps for the call centre battery hens, Japanese snacks for the
D Cmaj7
choice-spoilt citizens, caviar kickbacks for the citadel denizens.
Em Cmaj7
Airport shoeshines servicing the suits among the little silver stereos and hand-rolled cheroots,
D Cmaj7
First class passengers file on last after the scum are packed in with their tax-free loot.
Em Cmaj7
Checkout calamity, you're cheated out of loyalty points, ten more years at this joint you'd be home & dry,
D Cmaj7
Beggars beat round the cash machines but you just slip between them with the usual lie.
Em Cmaj7
Terrible tales of kidnapped kids keep you focused on the family and filling up the fridge,
D Cmaj7
neighbourhood watchers shop dole dodgers, stick their semis on the market & start racking up the bids.
[Chorus]
Am
Should you stand and fight,
F
should you die for what you think is right
Em F
so your useless contribution will be remembered?
Em Cmaj7 Em Cmaj7
If you're asking me I say no surrender, no surrender.
[Verse 2]
Em Cmaj7
Constant growth the cancerous cure, a swarming race of profiteers ensure
D Cmaj7
cheap cars for the rich, cheap lives for the poor, cheap weeks in the sun, free drinks at the door.
Em Cmaj7
Puerile propaganda plugs up the TV, keep folk following the money so they'll never be free
D Cmaj7
keep them swallowing the swill, the celebrities, the paedophiles, the immigrants invading from the
camp over the hill.
Em Cmaj7
War talk, the big debate, footsoldiers in the capital liberating new kinds of hate
D Cmaj7
cum-shots of human dots caught in the spotlight's glare, he dies who dares.
Em C Em C
[Pre-Chorus]]
Em Cmaj7
Fatuous fast-trackers sneering at the shelf-stackers, little Middle-Englanders can't stand the backpackers,
D Cmaj7
Fortress Freedom, come on in, take your chances - you might win.
[Chorus]
Am
Should you stand and fight,
F
should you die for what you think is right
Em F
so your useless contribution will be remembered?
Em Cmaj7 Em Cmaj7 Em Cmaj7
If you're asking me I say no surrender, surrender, surrender.
[Verse 3]
Em Cmaj7
Sunset beaches security patrolled, keep out the undesirables who won't accept the code
D Cmaj7
equal opportunity to live in total poverty, execute the ignorant incarcerate the slow
Em Cmaj7
Car caressing managers choking up the avenues, brain dead patriots standing in salute
D Cmaj7
paperwork raining again and again so that billionaires can claim there's an enemy to shoot
Em Cmaj7
Pill pushers, doorsteppers, personal goal shoppers, lifestyle trendsetters, meditating mindbenders,
D Cmaj7
hare-brained share sellers pumping out stocks til you're choking on a chain-letter avalanche of dross.
Em Cmaj7
God squads crawling through every country tracking down fools who are bulls**t hungry
D Cmaj7
blinded by divinity followers fall into the man-traps set along the Wailing Wall.
Em Cmaj7
Athletes compete in grand charades while tanks flatten streets and a nation laughs,
D Cmaj7
visa holders gape at the changing guards while creeps bribe bums to take their photographs.
Em Cmaj7
Film fans flock to the latest schlock, blockbusters block out even the vaguest thought
D Cmaj7
bankrupt schools grind out fool after fool then feed them to a system where idiots rule.
Em Cmaj7
Polling booths, phone votes, bogus questionnaires, you get a say as if anybody cares
D Cmaj7
Joe Public doesn't want to play so liquidate his life as he looks the other way.
Em Cmaj7
Don't get sick, don't get wise or they'll gut you with a justice where everything is lies
D Cmaj7
march down Main Street, complain if you want but it's twenty years straight for the losers at the front.
[Outro]
Em Cmaj7
If you're asking me I say no surrender.
