Manic Street Preachers - 30-Year War lyrics

It's the longest running joke In history To k** the working cla**es In the name of liberty The lies of Hillsborough The blood of Orgreave All the evasion at the BBC And 30 years of war To darken all our cla** Black propaganda, lies and mistrust See it in our eyes, the fire dimming away The old-boy network won the war again The old-boy network won the war again The old-boy network won the war again So you hide all Lowry's paintings sponsored links For 30 years or more 'Cos he turned down a knighthood And you must now settle the score And the endless parade of old Etonian scum Line the front benches so what is to be done? All part of the same establishment I ask you again what is to be done? I ask you again what is to be done? I ask you again what is to be done? These verses at attention stand Ready for the immortal command The armies of my pages may never fight again Happy for the order to meet eternal flame Blame the poor Praise the rich Make the connections Put them in print Keep 'em boxed in Keep 'em kettled in Create a mistruth So bewildering Create a mistruth So bewildering Create a mistruth So bewildering So you hide all Lowry's paintings For 30 years or more 'Cos he turned down a knighthood And you must now settle the score And the endless parade of old Etonian scum Line the front benches so what is to be done? All part of the same establishment I ask you again what is to be done? I ask you again what is to be done? I ask you again what is to be done? So you hide all Lowry's paintings For 30 years or more 'Cos he turned down a knighthood And you must now settle the score And the endless parade of old Etonian scum Line the front benches so what is to be done? All part of the same establishment I ask you again what is to be done? I ask you again what is to be done? I ask you again what is to be done?
