A* D*
Every second of every minute, every hour of every day
A*
The babblers work at building Babel; listen to what they say
Dm
Reading the news and feeding their views to the minds of a captive nation
G A*
Blending fact and fantasy: the official interpretation
A* D*
Every night in a billion rooms a billion minds are fed
A*
On a diet of pre-digested pap prepared by talking heads
Dm
Opinion-makers, phonies and fakers, talking to earn their pay
G A*
Gazing out of their plastic world and talking our lives away
A* D*
Every time that a working man or woman demand their rights
A*
The talking machine works overtime to prove that black is white
Dm
Strikers are traitors, paid agitators; miners are surly brutes
G A*
But don't let the viewers see the coppers teaching 'em with their boots
A* D*
Every day the smooth-faced pundits forecast on the box
A*
The miners' strike was lost they said and Scargill on the rocks
Dm
Lies, defamation, misinformation, that was the testing time
G A*
He kept faith with the men who elected him - and that is a major crime
A* D*
Every time there's a striking Pole, the lads at the BBC
A*
And the Thatcher mob weep crocodile tears: "Hurrah for Democracy"
Dm
The Sun and the Mail both joyfully hail the Poles' solidarity
G A*
Let British workers go on strike, they sing in a different key
Dm G A*
For solidarity's good for Poles - but not for you and me
