words and music by Paul Spencer, 2001

Well they marched for peace and justice and they struck for better pay,
And they built the protest movement just to hear the bastards say:

CHORUS: You can’t just winge, can’t you come up with a better way,
You’re always on the fringe coz you’ve got nothing good to say.

C - - - / C - - - / F - - - / F - - - /
C - - - / C - - - / G - - - / G - - - /

C - G - / C - G C / Am - - - / Dm - - - /
Em - F - / G - - - / C - G - / C - - - /

We pushed for public transport and we lobbied them for hemp,
But the bastards said the same thing to us everywhere we went.

Well we stood up for the forests and we stood up for the poor,
But they never seemed to understand what we were standing for.

Well perhaps we’d been too cryptic, so to simplify the clue,
We said “People Before Profit” so the message might get through, but no

So we made ourselves a banner. It was twenty stories high.
And the message read “Go Solar!” but it got the same reply.

So now when I see bastards standing, with their lips all tightly pursed,
I leap out from behind them and I get my line in first.
