Work or Riot Lyrics

The winter of discontent's nearing
Thatchers got trouble with her hearing
The voices of many are gone unheard
I'd try to laugh if it wasn't absurd

This generation, it won't keep quiet
Work, riot, work or riot
The time is now to unite
Work, work, work or riot? Riot

The out generation sit cold and die
Feed their faces and live the lie
In the papers everyday
So many rebels being put away

This generation, it won't keep quiet
Work, work, work or riot
The time is now to unite
Work, work, work or riot? Riot

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?

This generation, it won't keep quiet
Work, riot, work or riot
The time is now to unite
Work, work, work or riot? Riot

This generation won't keep quiet
Work, riot, work or riot
The time is now to unite
Work, work, work or riot?
