Ordinary people dont get time to think
Not that its their fault
Cos you have to hustle and bustle about your work
Just to make sure the food gets bought
Goverments threaten you with recession
Then they threaten you with war
How the other side wants to take away
All the things you aint got no more
Keep us divided with their greed and hate
Keep you struggling to put the food on your plate.
Imagine if tomorrow the workers went on strike
Not just british leyland but the whole world
Who would earn their profits?
Who would make their bombs?
Youd see the hands of oppression fumble
And their systems crash to the ground
And you men in uniform will have to learn the lesson too
Not to turn against your own kind
Whenever governments tell you to.
Get the trans-global express moving
And see our marvellous leaders quiver
They know that if it happens
Their lazy days are over
The day the working people join together
Well all rest much more easy
The responsibilty you must bear
When its your own future in your hands
Maybe a hard one to face up to
But at least you will own yourself!
The Jam were a legendary British punk rock band formed in 1976 in Woking, Surrey, by the multi-talented Paul Weller. Influenced by artists like The Beatles, The Kinks and The Who, they managed to blend melodic sounds with a decisive rhythm and a punk charge that made them one of the most important bands in the British music scene of the 1970s and 1980s. The original lineup, consisting of Weller (guitar, vocals), Bruce Foxton (bass) and Rick Buckler (drums), remained constant throughout the group's six years of activity. The Jam released seven studio albums, including their masterpiece "Sound Affects" (1980), which topped the British charts. Their most representative songs include "Going Underground", "Town Called Malice", "The Eton Rifles" and "Start!" . After the band's breakup in 1982, Paul Weller continued a successful career as a solo musician, while Foxton and Buckler embarked on various musical collaborations.
