Kids are spittin' on the Town Hall steps and frightenin' old ladies I dreamt that I was livin' back in the mid 1980s People marchin', people shoutin', people wearin' pastel leather The future's ours for the takin' now, if we just stick together And I said "Hey, lay your burden down Seems the last day of the miners' strike Was the Magna Carta in this part of town" Well, my body sank below the ground, it became as black as night Overhead the sound of horses' hooves, people fightin' for their lives Some joker in a headband was still gettin' chicks for free And Big Brother was still watching you, back in the days of '83 And I said "Hey, lay your burden down Seems the last day of the miners' strike Was the Magna Carta in this part of town" Well by 1985, I was as cold as cold could be But no one's underground to dig me out and set me free '87 socialism gave way to socialisin' So put your hands up in the air once more, the north is risin' And I said "Hey, lay your burden down Seems the last day of the miners' strike Was the Magna Carta in this part of town" Ah, sing Hallelujah Ah, sing Hallelujah Don't let them fool you again Ah, sing Hallelujah, ahh By now I'm sick and tired Of just living in this hole So I took the ancient tablets, blew off the dust Swallowed them whole Oh, come on, let's get together Oh, come on, the past is gone Well, the very first commandment Come on, come on Let's get it on Come on, let's get it on Get it on Ah, get it on Hey, lay your burden down Seems the last day of the miners' strike Was the Magna Carta in this part of town
