The winter of discontent's nearing
Thatchers got trouble with her hearing
The voices of many are gone unheard
I'd try to laugh if it wasn't absurdThis generation, it won't keep quiet
Work, riot, work or riot
The time is now to unite
Work, work, work or riot? RiotThe out generation sit cold and die
Feed their faces and live the lie
In the papers everyday
So many rebels being put awayThis generation, it won't keep quiet
Work, work, work or riot
The time is now to unite
Work, work, work or riot? RiotHave you ever heard punk on radio?
Have you ever been to a skinhead show?
No escape for the people like you
Did that happen in your time too?This generation, it won't keep quiet
Work, riot, work or riot
The time is now to unite
Work, work, work or riot? RiotThis generation won't keep quiet
Work, riot, work or riot
The time is now to unite
Work, work, work or riot?
