[ti:30 Year War]
[ar:Manic Street Preachers]
[00:40.38] It's the longest running joke in history
[00:43.92] To kill the working classes
[00:45.44] In the name of liberty
[00:47.68] The lies of Hillsborough
[00:49.20] The blood of Orgreave
[00:51.20] All the evasion at the BBC
[00:54.65] And 30 years of war
[00:56.16] To darken all our class
[00:58.31] Black propaganda
[00:59.85] Lies and mistrust
[01:01.78] See it in our eyes
[01:03.21] The fire dimming away
[01:05.07] The old-boy network won the war again
[01:08.75] The old-boy network won the war again
[01:12.06] The old-boy network won the war again
[01:22.56] So you hide all Lowry's paintings
[01:26.70] For 30 years or more
[01:30.40] 'Cos he turned down a knighthood
[01:33.08] And you must now settle the score
[01:36.72] And the endless parade of old Etonian scum
[01:40.60] Line the front benches so what is to be done?
[01:44.63] All part of the same establishment
[01:47.24] I ask you again, "What Is To Be Done?"
[01:50.90] I ask you again, "What Is To Be Done?"
[01:54.45] I ask you again, "What Is To Be Done?"
[02:05.48] These verses at attention stand
[02:08.71] Ready for the immortal command
[02:12.31] The armies of my pages may never fight again
[02:15.89] Happy for the order to meet eternal flame
[02:19.46] Blame the poor
[02:21.22] Praise the rich
[02:22.95] Make the connections
[02:24.58] Put them in print
[02:26.43] Keep 'em boxed in
[02:28.10] Keep 'em kettled in
[02:29.97] Create a mistruth
[02:31.47] So bewildering
[02:33.50] Create a mistruth
[02:34.98] So bewildering
[02:37.01] Create a mistruth
[02:38.40] So bewildering
[02:47.27] So you hide all Lowry's paintings
[02:51.41] For 30 years or more
[02:55.06] 'Cos he turned down a knighthood
[02:57.86] And you must now settle the score
[03:01.37] And the endless parade of old Etonian scum
[03:05.47] Line the front benches so what is to be done?
[03:09.46] All part of the same establishment
[03:12.08] I ask you again, "What Is To Be Done?"
[03:15.68] I ask you again, "What Is To Be Done?"
[03:19.44] I ask you again, "What Is To Be Done?"
[03:57.97] So you hide all Lowry's paintings
[04:02.17] For 30 years or more
[04:05.85] 'Cos he turned down a knighthood
[04:08.47] And you must now settle the score
[04:11.96] And the endless parade of old Etonian scum
[04:15.75] Line the front benches so what is to be done?
[04:20.04] All part of the same establishment
[04:22.64] I ask you again what is to be done?
[04:26.37] I ask you again what is to be done?
[04:29.87] I ask you again what is to be done?
