[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

[03:15.68]I ask you again, "What Is To Be Done?"
[03:19.44]I ask you again, "What Is To Be Done?"
