Lyrics

[00:15.11] Have you heard the word?
[00:17.30] The revolution's over.
[00:20.36] Now the anger's disappeared
[00:24.10] And the rebels are much older.
[00:26.03] And the schools and universities
[00:28.97] Are turning out a brand new breed of young conservatives.
[00:38.48] Get yourself a brand new scene,
[00:40.59] Keep your collars white and clean,
[00:43.78] It's time to come and join the young conservatives.
[00:49.53] Revolution used to be cool,
[00:52.98] But now it's out of fashion.
[00:55.60] Politeness is the rule,
[00:58.22] And not an angry young man's passion.
[01:01.16] And they've used up all the alternatives,
[01:04.17] And they're rushing down the street to join
[01:06.79] The young conservatives.
[01:10.29] Conservatives.
[01:13.91] Ban the bomb, oh how contemporary,
[01:16.47] In your parents' car.
[01:19.22] Another chip off the block, is that all that you are?
[01:25.54] Look at all the young conservatives
[01:28.35] Hanging out in the bars.
[01:31.41] It's got to stop before it goes to fa-fa-fa-fa-far.
[01:37.67] Get yourself some new attire,
[01:40.60] Set your sights a little higher,
[01:43.10] You're going to join the young conservatives.
[01:49.04] The establishment is winning,
[01:51.79] Now the battle's nearly won.
[01:54.66] The rebels are conforming,
[01:57.60] See the father, now the sons.
[02:00.86] All the urgency and energy
[02:03.61] Have turned into complacency,
[02:06.43] Now the schools and universities are turning out a
[02:10.25] Brand new breed of young conservatives.
[02:15.55] Conservatives.
[02:15.74]
[02:23.18] Rebel, rebel found a cause,
[02:24.50] Now it's Hampstead not East End
[02:27.12] And now he's such a well respected man.
[02:36.44] The only action that you see
[02:39.24] Is in the Sunday Times.
[02:41.75] Content to sit in bed and read between the lines.
[02:45.50] Rebel, rebel join the young conservatives.
[02:51.19] Be a devil join the new conservatives.
[02:56.69] It's a victory for order
[02:59.49] Now they've beaten everyone.
[03:02.18] The rebels are too old now,
[03:05.62] And the young just want to be young.
[03:08.31] All the urgency and energy
[03:11.12] Have turned into complacency.
[03:14.43] Now the schools and universities are turning out a
[03:17.56] Brand new breed of young conservatives.
[03:23.34] Conservatives.
[03:30.72] Look at all the young conservatives.
[03:32.47] Look at all the young conservatives.
