       F 
It's the longest running joke 
In history 
   C 
To kill the working classes 
In the name of liberty 
    E 
The lies of Hillsborough 
The blood of Orgreave 
Am 
All the evasion at the BBC 
  
    F 
And thirty years of war 
To darken all our class 
C 
Black propaganda, lies and mistrust 
E 
See it in our eyes, the fire dimming away 
      Am 
The old-boy network won the war again 
 The old-boy network won the war again 
The old-boy network won the war again     

A      Am 

       C 
So you hide all Lowry's paintings 
 G 
For thirty years or more 
E 
'Cos he turned down a knighthood 
Am A 
And you must now settle the score 
  
C 
And the endless parade of old Etonian scum 
G 
Line the front benches so what is to be done? 
E 
All part of the same establishment 
A 
I ask you again what is to be done? 
  
I ask you again what is to be done? 
         Am 
I ask you again what is to be done? 

 A 

F 
These verses at attention stand 
C 
Ready for the immortal command 
E 
The armies of my pages may never fight again 
Am                                     Dm     F 
Happy for the order to meet eternal flame 
  
F 
Blame the poor 
Praise the rich 
C 
Make the connections 
Put them in print 
E 
Keep 'em boxed in 
Keep 'em kettled in 
 Am 
Create a mistruth 
So bewildering 
 Am 
Create a mistruth 
So bewildering 
Create a mistruth 
So bewildering 
  
C 
So you hide all Lowry's paintings 
G 
For thirty years or more 
E 
'Cos he turned down a knighthood 
Am 
And you must now settle the score 
C 
And the endless parade of old Etonian scum 
G 
Line the front benches so what is to be done? 
E 
All part of the same establishment 
Am 
I ask you again what is to be done? 
   A 
I ask you again what is to be done? 
I ask you again what is to be done?
