Testi-musica-canzoni.it > Testi lettera C > Chumbawamba > Never Mind The Ballots - Ah-MenA visionary pause in the cycle
 When she refused to buy or sell
 When the daughters of perfect wives
 Said there must be no more sacrifice...
 Needed more than symbolic change
 More than silent wasting away
 In factories and sterile marriages
 (He was God. She was powerless.)
 
 With a brick for every year of life
 She set out for the house of lies
 The Old Boys Club under siege
 His Lordship cowered under his seat
 Called for brandy and reinforcements
 Blasted away at every movement.
 
 Close to breaking down the door...
 Past thick blue lines and stupid laws
 Black Friday left her bruised and stubborn
 One brick from winning the struggle!
 Rapunzel hacked at the ivory tower
 Asquith quickly rose to the hour...
 Appealed to patriotism, oily smiles
 Gave nothing, called it compromise.
 
 Gauging the situation perfectly
 Said, "Ladies! Ladies! Listen to me!
 1914, we're on the brink of war
 Pick up a flag, drop your cause!
 Your targets are counter-revolutionary
 Take my hand in democracy!
 Here's a piece of paper
 You're officially free
 Here's a list of instructions
 For you to obey;
 (And here's sharp knife
 To cut your own throat
 Small sacrifice in return for a vote...)"
 
 Whispered work in Pankhurst's ear:
 Visions of the first woman peer
 Led women down the garden path
 And into the arms of the enemy.
 Jail and force-feeding, wasted martyrdom
 Sold her songs for the National Anthem
 Slotted the smile back neatly into place
 Served refreshments
 At the end of the race
 All demands reduced to a joke
 X marks the plague: abandon hope
 
 Butlers still pouring brandy for the rich
 "Excuse me,
 Could you pass me the privilege?"
 A woman's voice, the state's ideal
 Same vested interest, same dirty deals
 Currie and Williams immersed in the times:
 Examples to keep the the rest in line.
 Currie and Williams, two of a kind:
 Examples to keep the rest in line.
