The winter of discontent's nearing Thatchers got trouble with her hearing The voices of many are going unheard I'd try to laugh if it wasn't absurd (Chorus:) This generation won't keep quiet Work, work, Work or Riot The time is now to unite, Work, work, work or Riot The generation sit cold and die Feed their facts and live the lie In the papers everyday So many rebels being put away Have you ever heard punk on radio? Have you ever been to a skinhead show? No escape for the people like you Did that happen in your time too?
